Our Lady of the George Foreman Grill

Going fast, but not cheap, on Ebay right now--it's a miracle--it's the image of the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich.

And miracle of miracles, although the sandwich is 10 years old, it's not even rotten! Surely you want this icon of holiness in YOUR refrigerator!

Current bid price is a mere $17,000. Cheap considering that the owner has won over $70,000 from local casinos while she's been blessing him. (Wonder if that's net gain, or if he also lost $150,000 during the same time period.)

I know--goofy things on Ebay are not exactly news. But they're just too good not to share.


 

Update from a friend

AOL had the lady with the Virgin Mary on the grilled cheese in an interview. She's had the sandwich by her bedside for ten years now, and that it has brought her a lot of luck. She says that she will miss it.

I see that the bidding is up to $99,999,999.00. That poor woman. Why can't she get people to make serious bids?

If you search Ebay for grilled cheese, you get a lot of fun spoof items and a lot of "GOLD STERLING COSTUME JEWELRY FINE w/o GRILLED CHEESE"

EBay should punish the fake bidders. Of course the balony on the bid page that says ebay is monitoring the sellers and the bids just makes people post more fake bids.
