A fortune in whale vomit

An Australian family is now about $250,000 richer thanks to a treasure found washed up on the beach. It wasn't gold or jewels, but whale vomit. Anyway, who wants to join me in a get rich quick scheme? We go to seaworld and show the whales pictures of Goatse and Tubgirl, then collect the precious vomit.

I don't suppose human vomit is worth anything? 'Cause, I just did a search for those two words to find out what they meant, and, um... bleh!

I would never post a link that was inappropriate.

It's just people seeing Goatse for their first time. It includes Ron Jeremy :D

I live about 6 hour drive away from there...hmmm, where's my car keys?
They said on the radio (because I actually listened to it), the better quality whale puke can fetch up to $65/gram and the specimen they found is roughly 10 years old. It has to be purified and cured for years in salt water before it's any good to any one.

Now where the f**k did I leave my car keys?....:headbang:

Sometimess when I'm feeling a bit too sane, I sit down and I think about the sequece of events that lead somebody to try something like this.

I mean, under what set of circumstances led people to the conclusion that you could make perfume out of whale puke? I suspect it has something to do with early whalers, the young crewmember with the slim figure who got covered in whale goo and the dozens of other sailors who hadn't seen a woman in weeks.

Soon, I'm feeling like my old self again. :)

Ambergris has a fairly pleasant scent: a "peculiar sweet, earthy odour not unlike isopropyl alcohol," according to Wikipedia.

Well, the whales might hork, but i didn't. Being a formerly prolific internet peruser, i had to adjust my mental faculty to the likes of StileProject and Engrish and SteakandCheese .... after a while it just kinda gets compartmentalized (pun intended) and you can walk off with nary a wobble.
Of course i would have to have some compensatory issues (as is sometimes evidenced by my post) .... but oh well.

BTW, this harkens back to the FUTURAMA episode, "Three Hundred Big Boys"

"I don't know you well enough to get into that."

Heh. That's cool. Silly Loralee not thinking that a 'solid, fatty object' would be valuable.

I wonder if creed cologne has real ambergris in it?

If so, I may have some whale vomit on me at this very moment.

Glory be!
