Man Sells Elvis Water On eBay

December 27, 2004 | Other
News from the "I don't know what to do with my money" section: a North Carolina man says he's sold three tablespoons of water on eBay for $455. They supposedly came from a cup used by Elvis Presley.

Wade Jones said he was 13 when he saw the King perform at the old Charlotte Coliseum in 1977. He says Elvis took a sip from a cup of water as he introduced his band.

Jones says he went to the stage after the show to snag a souvenir. When police wouldn't give him one, he persuaded them to give him the cup -- and they agreed.

Jones says he likes Elvis, but is just a casual fan. He decided to auction his souvenir after reading about a grilled cheese sandwich supposedly bearing the image of the Virgin Mary being sold on eBay for $28,000.

Yeah, well this next one takes the cake. There is now someone on eBay selling a frying pan with the image of Elvis, apparently burnt into it after the owner left the eggs to go and answer the phone. The sad thing is that people are bidding on it! For pity's sake!!

In my house, three tablespoons of water would have evaporated long before 27 years had elasped.
