Am working on finishing the last few Christmas presents, to increase the under-the-tree hoard, that the toddler will destroy when time permits. Am not certain what Patrick and Nick are getting me, but here is an idea....apparently Lee Harvey Oswald's water damaged casket is up for sale? I kinda of like functional gifts. I wonder if they can get a discount on the slightly used water damaged coffin....I also know there are tons of JFK buffs out there that want this baby for their dining room. So I will say this as lightly as possible....who the hell would buy this...ick...
The man believed to have shot President John F Kennedy was interred in the pine coffin for almost 20 years.
He was exhumed in 1981 as his widow wanted to verify that it was him inside the coffin, and then reburied in a new casket in the same Texas cemetery.
Auction officials say bidding for the item will start at $1,000 (£640) but they expect it to go much higher.
"There's just a lot of interest in Kennedy and anything to do with his assassination," said Laura Yntema, manager for Nate D Sanders auction house.
Oswald was arrested about an hour after President Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas on 22 November, 1963.
