Hmmm, I guess I should insert some ;}'s or some "the following is my
attempt at humor" warnings in my messages lest someone should actually
think I am seriously recommending (or trying to sell) something,
especially if Sue is the only non-humor-impaired member of the list. I
couldn't imagine anyone on this list reading that auction item and NOT
snorting coffee all over their keyboard.

Actually the item might be of slight interest if it actually is a Bundy
made of some kind of wood. I suspect, however, that it's really just a
composite made from the ground-up bodies of French Grenadiers (much
darker tone than French Musketeers) along with their uniforms and
grenades.

(Disclaimer: the preceding is my feeble attempt at humor and not to be
taken literally. I mean no respect to any French Grenadiers living or
deceased, or their decision not to participate in any wars against
nations that may have once thought about acquiring weapons of mass
destruction.)
