Big French Fry Sells For $202 On eBay
I love french fries. But I can think of lots of other things I’d rather buy with $202.
…yeah - like about 50,000 fries. 
[Homer Simpson]Mmmmm! French fries! Ahhhh![/Homer Simpson]
But just think how much you could make if you had 50,000 giant fries to auction off…
There was another story some months ago about a person who found a mutant Cheeto. Wonder what ever came of it?

What? Oh, sorry, you wanted this?
One…golden French fry, perhaps?
That’s rediculous! I could make a fry bigger than that and put it on Ebay if I wanted to.
Oh yeah, this guy seems like the expert. I might wait for it on paperback, though. :wally
Reminds me of that Simpsons bit where Homer is looking for a potato chip or something under the chair and then gets disappointed when he finds a twenty dollar bill.
Homer: “Aw…I wanted a potato chip.”
Brain: “$20 is better.”
Homer: “Explain.”
Brain: “Money can be exchanged for goods and services. $20 can buy many potato chips.”
Homer: “Woohoo!”
£202 for a french fry? Someone has WAY too much money.
Well, if you act within the next 9 minutes or so, you could be the proud owner of NOTHING:

But, it’s not just a french fry; it’s a big french fry!
True, true, DrMatrix. But what if this is a BIG nothing? I’d hate to see you miss out. 
Close, Typhoon - Homer was looking for a peanut.
I’m kind of surprised he managed to sell a french fry only 6.75" long as the “world’s longest.” I think I’ve seen ones at least that long - the frozen french fries my roommate gets often have really long ones. I mean, if he found a McDonald’s french fry that long then maybe this might be a record. :rolleyes:
So are we supposed to be insulting the guy who found the french fry, froze it, and sold it on Ebay, or the guy who’s actually going to fork over $202 for the fry?
Sounds like the buying is asking for more of the insult here. Coming up with the world’s largest french fry idea may be a bit… stupid, but then again, the guy now has an extra $202 in his pockets.
$202 for a french fry?!! Forget buying a french fry – I’m going to Maine! HJay, you’ve got female.
P.T. Barnum was right.

For $202, it had better be a french fry George Washington was eating, or something like that.
$202 for a French fry, eh? Astronomically expensive, that…

So it’s okay to call them “french” fries again? Not Freedom Fries?
As for the e-bay fry: 6 3/4 inches? PAH! I’ve seen fries that would make John Holmes weep.
