Nice mug, but they have the decimal in the wrong place.

That mug would be perfect for Williams.

What bugs me more about all these ridiculously priced ebay items is they still charge for shipping.

I just gave you 5 thousand dollars....you can't ship it for free?

I guess on the other hand if I just threw away 5 grand what do I care about 10 bucks for shipping.
