“Do I hear $1,800? Going once, going twice…”
Almost 300 years ago, a man in England received a lemon as a gift and stuck it in the back of his sock drawer.
Now, 285 years later, the antique dresser–and then the petrified lemon–were auctioned off. The dresser sold for $40. The lemon sold for $1,780 (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4214133/posts).
Great Caesar’s ghost! What do you do with a 285-year-old lemon? It isn’t even yellow anymore. Good luck trying to make lemonade with it. Is it hard enough to serve as a projectile? What would it take to get you to pay $1,780 for a centuries-old lemon? Or do you just have so much money that it doesn’t matter what you pay for anything?
Inquiring minds, totally perplexed, want to know.
Whoa! Things get crazier and crazier every day.
Well, if you had $1,800 bucks to kiss goodbye to, you might’ve had that lemon…
There’s a sucker born every day.
