Elvis Has Left the Building

Earlier this week I read in the paper that an auction had been held to sell a collection of Elvis memorabilia.  Apparently his personal bible had fetched a good price.  A good price of $95,000.  I was impressed -- $95,000 is a lot of money.  I was also impressed that Elvis had a bible.  And apparently read it.  The newspaper article said that Elvis' handwritten notes of inspiration were included in the margins.  I have to admit, I wondered what kind of inspiration Elvis would have received as he read from his bible.  "I think a red cape suggests a little more "pizzazz" than a white one.... "    "If I used fake diamonds on my pants, instead of real ones, I could save a lot of money...."

But I digress.

Anyway, what I read next in the article was that Elvis' "unwashed and soiled" underwear did not sell.  Well, duh?  Of course no one would want to buy anyone else's used underwear.

Imagine my surprise when I next read that the only reason it didn't sell was because the highest bid was $1000 below the owner's asking price of $10,000!!!!!

So at least one person bid $9000!!!!!

!!!!!

I really can't think of anything else to say.
