I had to post this one for the comedy factor:

"GI Joe Custom PT-109 BOAT with Kennedy and Crew"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300235683469&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020



It's like an Ohio-class submarine with the nose of a beluga whale that's been turned into a surface craft. Are those depth charges, extra fuel or boat bumpers? Some toys can really get it right - they sometimes can almost pass for models (like those 21st Century Toys). Then there are toys like this...



The honor-guard white stock Garand in the cockpit is a nice touch. With those thick black glasses, maybe it's JFK's white cane?

Hey, if they can try and sell Tiger Wood's apple core that he ate on the Golf Course, they can try and pass this thing off as a PT BOAT. It goes to prove that folks out there will try to sell anything for a buck. Anyone interested in one of my old socks? $2.00 bucks.

Had a good chuckle when viewing that ad too. Their have been very strange PT models on ebay over the years, but this one's a keeper
