    Ah! A business opportunity beckons, Dick!

    “This road-worn pre-distressed toilet seat, complete with cigarette burns JUST LIKE those [STAR] left on HIS toilet seat, will show that you are no stranger to… the blues…”

    Dick, sometimes one must grasp one’s Desthingy… by the balls.

    (And by “balls”, of course, I’m referring to the classic toilet float-thingies that are mandatory accessories to the [STAR] toilet seat!)

    I was thinking about it. I was going to do the Internet commerce thing, though. Give him a quote and ask for direct deposit of 50 percent up front. The not ship anything and disappear.
