Gavels and Toothpicks,What is wrong with people?
(Note... On 4/16/2008 I moved this post here from the old blog.)
You can buy anything on eBay. Well most anything.
At one time I found this Charlie Weaver and it was selling for over $100.





There is a plethora of items made from animal scrotums. Who would have known.
How about a candy dish made from a bull scrotum, a Kangaroo scrotum bottle opener or a purse made from a large Kangaroo scrotum. Or if your Christmas budget just won't let you get the scrotum purse you have had your eye on there are always the Kangaroo scrotum seconds. That's right you too can be the proud owner of a scrotum purse with a hole, scratch or rip.
(from the eBay ad)
Genuine Australian Kangaroo scrotum. SECONDS- Fully tanned, but with defects such as tears or holes in the leather. Marks on the leather are real, from scratches and fights. Used for keeping coins or other valuables safe. (except the ones with holes of course) Note that every scrotum is different. (amazing but true)
A quick search for all things Possum will reveal the much sought after Possum Fur Nipple Warmers seen below

Try Raccoon... ? No... your not safe there. They are selling tooth picks made from Raccoon penises.
There are two groups of people here that we really need to look into a little closer. Those people that buy scrotums and penises and furry nipple covers and those that have chosen for their profession the acquiring, drying, tanning and sale of these items.
Can you just imagine a man and wife sitting at the desk of a SBA Loan Officer. "Mr. and Mrs. Stevens it says here that you would like a loan of $75,000. In a nutshell what is your business plan?"
"Well Billy... you don't mind if I call you Billy do you? First we are going to the slaughter house and see what kind of deal we can get on bulk bull penises to make into canes. Then we are going to stop by the vet that does the castrations and we're going to make a deal to haul off all the scrotums that are left over. We can use them to make candy dishes. My brother Tim is already got a deal with the vet for the testicles. He picks them up and then sells them to that restaurant down by the lake that has 'em on the menu. Heck if the vet has a bunch, he even pays Tim to pick'em up."
Stammering the loan officer asks, "Who, exactly, do you think will buy a candy dish made from a bull scrotum?
"Well.... heck..... I reckon those folks that ate the testicles. After all they shouldn't have a problem eating candy from the sack their lunch came in."
I guess they could stop by the restaurant and have a plate of Mountain Oysters. Then pay for them with money from their Kangaroo "money pouch" and then chase down a Raccoon to pick their teeth.When did we start eating bull testicles?
I can imagine two cowboys sitting around campfire and one says "How bout we chase down that bull and eat it's balls"
I have never been that hungry.
What is wrong with people?
Don't they NOT have a Sam's card ???????????
