FIRST, let me say that we do. But, I am not sure I can talk about them.

An autographed decking plank from Noah's Ark and a Mason jar of George Washington's toenail clippings.

No, really. My dad wouldn't have made that up. . . . would he?

Was the plank signed in Hebrew or English?

נֹחַ,‎ נוֹחַ Noah

It won't change the resale value, just whether you sell it on eBay or Craigslist.

As far as the toenail clippings, they could be fake. Remember, George Washington had false toenails made out of wood. ... Or was that false teeth? Maybe he chewed them with his false teeth. Never mind..............

I have dad's WWII uniform. He said he was lucky to keep it; the allies made most of them destroy their uniforms.

Yes. Too numerous to mention.
Andini has a heck of a beer can collection, I hear. I have a vast collection of Payboy magazines. I just have them for the articles.

Just trying to keep the family jewels polished. It's a solitary job mostly.

I'm gonna write-in Hollis for congress. He'll swim naked damn near anywhere.
