Mail for Sale
Although we can take no credit for thinking of this idea, we can, however, take credit for thinking it’s brilliant. David Horvitz has some excellent items for sale on his website.
Here are some of our items for sale:
For $25 I will mail you my tonsils, which will be removed on Friday March 7th. (However, I can take no responsibility for the condition upon arrival.) Unfortunately the hospital would not release Kate’s tonsils (she just got out of surgery about 2 hours ago (March 7th, 08, 3:40 PM) saying it would break the hospital’s privacy laws.
For $1,910 we will fly to London, get on the Underground (aka Tube, aka subway) and get off at every stop and take a picture. We will then mail you all of the photos in a scrapbook, along with our Underground tickets from London.
For $35 dollars Neil will take a picture of one household item of your choosing and print you a 11 x 17 copy of the photo and mail it to you.
Some examples of items are: Neil’s 2 year old cowboy boots, a candelabra, a day-of-the-dead bride statue, a Nepali nativity set, our 1930s radiator, an artist’s pose able figure, a plant, a hippo statuette, the Salt Lake Temple figurine with day-of-the-dead bride & groom, squiggly mirrors, a toaster oven, our “ransom” door hanger in Egyptian, an art-deco lamp, rugs, various homemade cups & bowls, original art.
If you give us $15, we will create a sidewalk chalk memorial to you, or a person of your choosing, near a Salt Lake City landmark. We will take a picture and mail it to you from Salt Lake.
If you give us $75 dollars we will buy some spray paint and graffiti a message for you on a building on 400 East in Salt Lake City. We’re pretty sure this is not legal, but it will blend in since the building is already totally covered.
We will take a picture of your personalized graffiti message and mail it to you.
