The above photo is of a piece of toast. A regular piece of toast. Made from white bread. With margarine or butter spread on it. No jelly, no jam, no marmalade, not even any cinnamon and sugar.
This particular piece of toast sold for 28,000 dollars on e-bay! Now look really, really closely at this piece of stale cooked bread with butter on it. Do you see anything that would entice you to spend 28,000 dollars to possess it?
But apparently to someone who is either very physic, or has too much money... it looks like the face of the Virgin Mary......
The above roll was on display in the window of a bakery in Germany for many months, till someone actually stole it from the bakery window! Look at this roll very closely, do you see anything that would entice you to commit burglary to possess it?
It looks like a piece of dough that has been baked a little bit too long to me. But to others it looks like Mother Theresa.....?????
Okay I am the first one to say, some people see things that others don't . As a matter of fact I have been on the receiving end of witty cuts, about things I can see in clouds and rocks, and pieces of wood etc.
But this has me completely undone! I heard the other day some one actually paid an enormous amount of money for a cup on ebay. A regular, ordinary, plastic drinking cup. Like you get at the dollar store for your kids when they are little. Unbreakable, yellow, plastic, dollar store cup. That Elvis drank from.... now am I wrong... or has it been rumored that Elvis has gone to the big sound stage in the sky? But this person had a cup he drank from....... um hummm.... and someone else actually bought it........ like I said in the title.... WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
28,000 dollars for a stale piece of bread with some brown markings on it that some one drew on there with a magic marker while eating their cereal one morning, is not a sign from God! It is a piece of toast. Eat it.
A hot roll is just a hot roll. Eat it.
A plastic drinking cup is just a plastic drinking cup. Drink out of it, wash it and reuse it. Then when it gets cracked, throw it away!
I repeat................WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
We are either the most gullible generation ever born, or the richest! We seem to actively be searching for people to rip us off! Then the kicker is we whine about it when we do get ripped off! Wake up folks! There are people out there just waiting for that sucker who is born every minute! I have been that sucker, but I did learn from the experience. These folks seem to never learn....
Here is list of things one might want to check off on before purchasing something from anyone..... especially from the internet.....
1. Do I need this thing? Will it enhance my sex life, or maybe make my hair shiny, or something important like that?
2. Has the reputed original owner of said item been dead for a loooooong time?
3. What is this thing made from? ( from the photos on ebay it could be anything from plaster of paris corn on the cob, to drinking straws twisted into the shape of a possum.)
4. What is the shipping and handling on this thing, is it more that item retails for?
5. Is this thing, something that only idiots would buy? Am I an idiot?
6. Does my mother own one of these?
7. Will it max out my credit card? Will I have to mortgage my house to pay for it? Will I have to promise my inheritance for collateral?
8. Can it be insured for the amount of money I am paying for it? ( moldy bread is not usually insurable)
9. Can I eat it, if I lose all my money to someone, who steals my identity, because I bought stuff over the internet?
10. And the tenth and final one is ...... Will my husband kill me when he gets the Master Card bill, and all I have to show him is a piece of toast without any jelly on it?
