Hello all,

I've heard the expression--I'd give an arm and a leg for that meteorite--but
i never realized it's True.

While only a collector--(I thank all of you who do hunt) and "right after"
buying a "Real Beauty" from one of you guys, i did notice a very strange
movement on my countertop--i quickely recognized that it was my wallet and
it was quivering and oozing some green stuff that appeared to be what was
left of the money that, moments ago, was inside it. In this case, does
anyone think that Rusty Bill
could come up with a new formula to reverse his Laurecite problem solver to
keep the green stuff in
one's wallet?
