All -

I can't wait for one of these guys to start selling pill bottles of "Hallowed Ground" soil from G'burg. By the time the eBet fakirs get/got thru with that scam the place would look like, well, like it does today. But I'm betting some guy in Pittsburgh would have one heck of a hole in his backyard. I can imagine seeing dirt with Minié bullets (eureka!) miraculously included - with not one but two letters of authenticity.

And the guys selling hair must own whole chains of barber shops. Those famous people must have been as hairy as Lady Godiva. This doesn't mean that I haven't been agonizing about satisfying an overwhelming desire to own a bona fide George Washington mustache clipping from the night of the Delaware River crossing - with not one but TWO COA's.

Not to be outdone I will soon be offering a full stripper clip of authentic rare .79 caliber CSA machine pistol bullets made in the Miami Beach Arsenal fresh from the estate sale of a previously unknown collector in Ottawa, but there are no returns and buyer pays $39.00 shipping and handling (W/2 letters from the auctioneer).

Ya'll send your money in cause I need it, ya heah?!

Good one Bill. I've had to stop making all those hospital/paoin bullets. My gums are starting to bleed :grin:

JimmyK-

Actually, the frequency and "scatter" of found "pain" bullets should offer another clue to folks.

It was common practice for soldiers to "gum" a bullet to stimulate the saliva glands on a hot day. I have read several accounts describing this, and I suspect that many of our "pain" & "hospital" bullets are simply the product of a hot and thirsty soldiers efforts to seek relief in this way. When I hit one of those passages again I will either post it or describe the source.

And good morning. (I do wish that it was legal to shoot spammers)
