Surely turds aren't really auctioned, are they? I have never been to an auction, so I don't know about these things. Still, a Churchill stool sounds a bargain at any price. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5498#post-15072 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:30:20 +0000 QorbeQ 15072@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Was it polished? Though any turd sale is likely to make someone stinking rich surely... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5498#post-15027 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:38:32 +0000 riesler 15027@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>also reminds me of the ABBA turd in Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Worth some points for the last line. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5498#post-15006 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:43:44 +0000 Stan Laurel 15006@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Perhaps it's the reminder of Derek &amp; Clive that I like about this idea. Am sure people would bid for one should it ever come to the surface, as it were. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5498#post-14987 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 10:08:27 +0000 edward hack 14987@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A large turd, thought to have been left behind in a lavatory at the War Office by Sir Winston Churchill when he was wartime leader, fetched a staggering £1m at auction in New York earlier today.<br /> The turd, or floater as they are sometimes called, had apparently defied all attempts to flush it away so had been abandoned and left in a cupboard for over 50 years until discovered by historian Guy De'Fey following a routine stock take.<br /> Lot number 107, described in the catalogue as 'a big, fat jobbie, in perfect condition with no damage or repairs est $20-30' was bought by a delighted turd collector from Texas.<br /> In the same auction a vintage Havanna cigar also fetched an amazing $35,000 ...a record price for a single cigar.<br /> The proud buyer boasted 'of course I'm going to smoke the God damn thing....why you think I bought it you schmuck....now if I could just get the darn thing to light..... </p>
