We had a story on this forum about a severed head that managed to scream a warning.
Well, this one is almost as good.
We can just wonder what kind of tales our wives tell us,,,,

Such a good story and no bids at $9.99 NR!

Maybe buyers are just getting smarter.

I do have a spare one: my wife's grandfather inherited it from Haile Selassie.
You can have it for 12 easy payments of $19.95.

Maybe the CIA should talk to the seller about where Osama's been hiding

He sounds like he has connections

"LOOK OUT, CHARLIE!"

Ah, the memories.

At least he didn't say that his wife appeared on the cover of National Geographic in a red headscarf?

"You can see the writing on the blade". In Afghan, it says, "M ad e inI ndia".
The seller should have said that you can see the writing on the wall!!
