Ebay Auctions Absurd

eBay auctions in recent months have become mutated versions of the theater of the absurd:

• The image of the Virgin Mary on a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich was bought for $28,000.

• A woman selling the ghost of her father to calm her son's fears - walked away with $65,000.00. The ghost resided in a walking cane.

• A supposed 1850s ghost captured in a glass jar was a little more tragic at a mere $201.50.

Makes you think, though....I wonder what I might find in the garage..or the attic...or behind the stove..that would fetch a few easy K's on eBay.

I heard someone say that they had a pile of dog poo which bore the likeness of George Bush's face in it. Maybe they could sell it on eBay, they mused. No, it probably can't be sold, because,well, how could you possibly pick his face out in that? Even if you could, everyone and their dog has piles of the stuff bearing the same likeness.
