Oh dear, subby divided by zero and blew his mind in a cloud of illogic.

Signed is being used as a verb in the headline.

This link has a great video. (new window)

I agree with the purchaser.. steal of the century.

The price of one ruby?

 
olddinosaur 2009-11-14 07:16:43 PM  
Subby, that headline was sick and a half.

Keep up the good work.

 
bmihura 2009-11-14 07:16:54 PM  
I would consider paying that much to never hear about him again.

1) Purchase historical artifact: $39,000
2) Insure artifact for: $250,000
3) Artifact mysteriously disappears or gets destroyed: Profit $211,000

/the question is how long the buyer will wait to spring the cunning plan into action

Yo dog, we heard you like autographs.....

good one BlippityBleep, you're probably right

I'd like to think for $39k you could get more than oral sex and a little bit of cocaine.

You gotta expect the puns to come machine-gun quick around here. Of course, the good ones only attack when you least expect them too.

Well, your comment just added a whole new layer of sympathy to the Kennedy family. I daresay that it forced me to step back, and move closer to traditional democrat values to further understand the situation.

Yes, back and to the left. Back and to the left.

 
orbitalfreak [TotalFark] 2009-11-14 07:31:24 PM  
They put the autograph on a pedestal in the middle of the room, but the new owner suggested they move it back, and to the left.

 
Frozboz 2009-11-14 07:31:46 PM  
FTA: What could be the last autograph signed by President Kennedy was sold recently at an auction of itmes linked to his assassination in Texas.

Do they not have spellcheck at CNN? First paragraph, really?

Yeah, I think the American people are beginning to recoil from the far right crazy that's been going on lately.

Dumb headline plus dumb article = aw, who am I kidding, I have nothing better to do than to read this stupid shiat.

 
Hilary T. N. Seuss 2009-11-14 07:36:35 PM  
Interestingly, JFK's signature that day was written at a very pronounced angle. Back and to the left, you might say.

Insert Antique Roadshow joke here.

Don't worry about that - it's just going to bounce around inside there and hit a few different things.

Yeah, but I think Palin has the magic bullet up her sleeve to help her win 2012. God save us.

Let's keep it classy, fellow Farkers. Show them we are not petty and have the brains to post tasteful comments.

These puns are too good. There has to be someone else helping.

Are you saying that this is a wordplay conspiracy?

Subby's headline was tastless and offensive.....

I loved it

 
Mangoose 2009-11-14 07:55:23 PM  
It did blow my mind. I was thinking upwards of 6 figures and it was low 5.

castufari: GW's autograph on a lottery ticket sold for ~8k today.

Pfft. That signature is just revolting.

 
NukkenFutz [TotalFark] 2009-11-14 08:06:08 PM  
Came for the grammar snark, leaving satisfied.

 
Kickstart UF 2009-11-14 08:06:47 PM  

C'mon folks, it's so obvious...

Subby didn't write that headline alone.

How do I know it's Jack Ruby's hat JFK's signature?

We just keep shooting them in there, sooner or later something comes out in the splatter.
