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.

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!!
