Ghost cane nets $65,000 on eBay

Buyer is same casino that nabbed 'Virgin Mary' grilled-cheese sandwich
The Associated Press
Updated: 12:16 a.m. ET Dec. 7, 2004INDIANAPOLIS - An online casino offered $65,000 Monday for a metal walking cane that an Indiana woman put up for sale in hopes her son would believe his grandfather’s ghost would leave their house with it.

GoldenPalace.com will add the “ghost cane†to a collection that already includes a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary. The Antigua-based casino paid $28,000 last month for the sandwich, which it bought — like the cane — on eBay.

“It’s just the new Americana thing,†said Monty Kerr, a spokesman for the online casino.

People, get creative! You too can make money from this Casino! And you won't have to put a dime in the slot machine. Is this the new American thing?

Let me guess, the new T-shirts will read:
We caned the Ghost! (Won't Singapore be proud...?)

I read an article about the woman auctioning off her father's ghost, and figured it was just a creative way of dealing with her son's fear. I'm a bit shocked that "it" fetched $65,000!

That Casino will do anything for publicity. They were the ones who had a guy in a tutu at the last Olympics in Greece who jumped in the pool during one of the diving events.
