Best ... Christmas ... gift ... ever!
The following "Christmas gift" was sold on eBay for $415. All I can say is ... I wish I'd thought of it!
"I will be spending the Christmas holiday in Poland in a tiny village that has one church with no bell because angry Germans stole it. Aside from vodka, there is not a lot for me to do.
"During the course of my holiday I will send three postcards to one person of your choosing.
"These postcards will be rant-ravingly insane, yet they will be peppered with unmistakable personal details about the addressee. Details you will provide me.
"The postcards will not be coherently signed, leaving your mark confused, guessing wildly, crying out in anguish.
"'How do I know this person? And how does he know I had a ferret named Goliath?'
"Your beloved friend or relative will try in vain to figure out who it is. Best of all, it can't possibly be you because you'll have the perfect alibi: you're not in Poland. You're home, wherever that is, doing whatever it is you do when not driving your friends loopy with international prankery."
