[78-L] "Makes me spend my money..."

[Taylor Bowie]

The article indicated that the son was considering posting the thing on 
eBay...frankly I would also be surprised if it ever does show up there.

That said,  I'm sure there is a market for it.  Think of all the people who 
have paid large sums for grilled cheese sandwiches which "show" an image of 
the Virgin Mary...or one I read about a week ago:  fellow paid some hundreds 
of dollars for a corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois...at least 
that's what it looked like to him and the other bidders.

Hmmm...makes those broken Dinah Shore records we chatted about a while ago 
look like  a pretty good buy.
