P.T. Barnum is right "There's a sucker born every minute".

I am going to start making food items shaped like Jesus, Mary, or some combination thereof.

I'm gonna be rich!

I need money for student-loan debt-reduction. I tried drawing a picture and got $9.50 for it. How do these people get that kind of money for a pretzel?

What's with these people? (Not just the sellers, but the buyers?)

I’m guessing that people forge accounts and drive bids up on things like this just to make the news. The seller will never get a check, and may even be in on the media scam.

EBay doesn't get their cut on a non-sale, but probably welcomes the free advertising and dreams of riches it inspires in potential future sellers.

My Tabby cat has an "M" for "Madonna" on his forehead. No joke.

Hummmm $$$$$$$

*groan* For SHAME!!!

The heck with pretzels, have you tried the new Rosemary & Olive Oil Triskets? They're great!

Speaking of miracle food,......What about Jesus and Elvis on a fried tortilla? How about a Michael Jackson chocolate chip cookie? Al Gore bologna, Hillary Clinton cattle future all beef sausage, John Kerry fishy cakes,....stop me if you've heard these,....

Unbelievably, there are 4 bids for this nasty looking toilet ashtray! Hurry, though, the auction is almost over!

[snarks_when_bored]

An ampersand gone wrong.

We need to tap the Islamic market too. "Cheese Falafel Looks Like Al-Aqsa Mosque!"

OK, this is it, I'm doing it!

A few years ago, I came up with a plan if I really needed money. I'm going to get a big Hickory farms sausage and smear it all over the wall of my shower in the shape of Mary. In three weeks, when the mold grows just right, I'm charging $10.00 a head to come in and see it.

I'll get rich, rich I tell ya.

Quick call the Avon lady! It's she a little too old for the Goth look?

What about Jesus and Elvis on a fried tortilla

Any Elvis images on food items would have to be from the Burger King where he works.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

I personally see nothing wrong with the sellers. Genius of capitalism!

[Red Badger]

Treble clef, that was my first thought, too.......

That's the Trouble with Trebles.
