[klimatron8]

ok folks -my second entry. This auction actually spawned some conversation on the ataiage forums. As well as a moment of total panic as I thought Mcgrail was a terrorist who really wanted my hand.

I just got the following email on my auction. Apparently this guy liked my grip.

(mcgrail0007)How much is shipping for this hand? Are the fingerprints on this hand good
enough to transplant to someone else who needs to change their fingerprints for
legal reasons?

(mcgrail0007)I was just joking.! I saw it first on DP. I hope I didn't scare you. I couldn't pass it up. Your email response killed me. I still can't stop laughing. Here was his response:
