IT'S NOT A TUMOR BREATH MINT

Thanks to eBay (and dumpster-diving) you have just two days left to own a truly historic piece of Austrian-American history:

Yes, you can own a piece of the Ter-mint-ator himself.

At the recent 2004 Peace Officer Memorial in Sacramento on May 7, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was observed removing a cough drop from his mouth and discarding it prior to speaking to the thousands of attendees. The cough drop, dubbed, "The Gov’ Mint" was retrieved from the grassy knoll area near the podium, sealed in plastic and transported to an unknown location in Clovis, California.

As of this posting, the cough drop (not a mint, but why get in the way of a good pun?) was going for more than $15,000. In related news, I have a piece of gum chewed by yours truly that I'm willing to give up for just fifteen cents.

Contact me if you're interested.

P.S. I may not live on a grassy knoll, but I do have a pretty damned good view of downtown Washington!
