Somehow this reminds me of another case, not really Unix-related: I
was (maybe still am) known for my long beard.  In fact I trimmed it
greatly over 20 years ago, in March 2004, and I put the cuttings up
for sale on eBay, where they sold for $5.50.  It was bought by Chris
Yeoh of IBM Ozlabs.  I had written "While the item is in clean
condition and free of obvious parasites, it has not been sterilized",
and for some reason Chris never opened the package.  Instead it was
pinned to the pinboard at Ozlabs.
