Get Rich Quick Scheme

I have come across a great money making scheme. A friend recently showed me a Woolly Mammoth tooth which she had inherited from her Grandfather. It was absolutely huge. If you'd like to see what a Woolly Mammoth tooth looks like, have a look at this picture.

Anyway, it strikes me that if you were to procure a Woolly Mammoth tooth, and leave it under your pillow, the Tooth Fairy would be obliged to give you an absolute fortune in return for it. Assuming the Tooth Fairy pays by weight, and also assuming that the going rate the last time I personally did business with the Tooth Fairy (some years ago now) remains much the same allowing for inflation, I have calculated that putting a Woolly Mammoth tooth under your pillow should net you approximately $1,000,000.

Does anyone have a Woolly Mammoth tooth I can have? If you have sold a Woolly Mammoth tooth to the Tooth Fairy for $1,000,000 and would like to tell the world, send your story to ihavesoldawoollymammothtoothtothetoothfairyforamillionandwouldliketotelltheworld@rathergood.com

I quickly searched for "Tooth Fairy" and found that I was directed, rather than to the Tooth Fairy's headquarters, to the rather scary Toothfairy Teeth site. It's worth a look, they have some quality merchandise. Oh yes indeedy. There's a gallery of their produce available.
