       7 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said handle is configured in a shape of a shaft.  
   
   
       8 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said handle is configured in a shape of a cross bar having depending therefrom a generally elongated loop.  
   
   
       9 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said handle is configured in a shape of a beam having extending upwards therefrom a panel.  
   
   
       10 . A utensil according to  claim 6  and wherein said handle is disposed interiorly of said liquid container, such that it is at least partially surrounded by said liquid container.  
   
   
       11 . A utensil according to  claim 7  and wherein said handle is disposed interiorly of said liquid container, such that it is at least partially surrounded by said liquid container.  
   
   
       12 . A utensil according to  claim 8  and wherein said handle is disposed interiorly of said liquid container, such that it is at least partially surrounded by said liquid container.  
   
   
       13 . A utensil according to  claim 9  and wherein said handle is disposed interiorly of said liquid container, such that it is at least partially surrounded by said liquid container.  
   
   
       14 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said liquid container is configured generally as a cylinder.  
   
   
       15 . A utensil according to  claim 14  and wherein said handle is defined by a transverse handle-defining passageway extending at least partially through said liquid container.  
   
   
       16 . A utensil according to  claim 14  and wherein said handle is disposed interiorly of said liquid container, such that it is at least partially surrounded by said liquid container.  
   
   
       17 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said utensil is enclosed at a top surface.  
   
   
       18 . A utensil according to  claim 17  and wherein said utensil is provided with an opening.  
   
   
       19 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said liquid container is configured to have a generally elliptically shaped top and bottom portion and a generally cylindrically shaped portion interconnecting said top portion and said bottom portion.  
   
   
       20 . A utensil according to  claim 1  and wherein said liquid container is configured to have a generally channel shaped central portion with at least one leg portion extending therefrom.
