Step right on up! You, sir, look like a good, charitable person! You, madam, look like the sort of soul who’d do anything to help her fellow human beings in a time of need. Well, in order to raise money for the Salvation Army food bank in Hawera, New Zealand, a group of Salvation Army parishioners from the Taranaki region are auctioning off a prized possession, a 12 millimeter scrap of toenail, cut straight off the foot and sent directly to you. That’s half an inch of growth that took over a year to grow! And it could be YOURS if you head over to TradeMe and bid!
So far, the bidding is up to $7.50 cents, so for less than the price of two cups of coffee, you can get your hands on a genuine, old-growth Kiwi toenail. It’s a steal! Don’t be like those suckers paying a fortune for Elvis hair; this is cheaper and also way more disgusting. Be the first on your block to pay for a clipping from some guy’s stinky foot!
Yes, this auction is disturbing, but at least it’s for a good cause. Plus, you have to admit, it’s a really creative way to raise a few dollars for a struggling charity. Dig deep into your pocket for something that used to be digging deep into the front of someone’s shoe, why don’t you?
