OT To baseball collecting but funny nonetheless

[RichardSimon]

I received this e mail today:

"Hello.

I have a signed Jimmy Hendrix CD great condition. If interested email
me back."

What can you say when you get something like this??

Ridiculous! Jimi never signed "Jimmy"

Richard- that's a hoot. That's like having a baseball signed on the sweet spot by George Washington.

I wrote the guy back, asking him how this was possible, specifically saying that CD's were not available commercially until 1982 and Hendrix died in 1970.
I am awaiting what I am sure will be a non existent reply .

I was just using the write up for CD's on Wikipedia to pin down some type of a date. I know they were not really around in 1982.

Game Show Host (John Cleese): Good evening and welcome to Stake Your Claim. First this evening we have Mr Norman Voles of Gravesend who claims he wrote all Shakespeare's works. Mr. Voles, I understand you claim that you wrote all those plays normally attributed to Shakespeare?

Voles (Michael Palin): That is correct. I wrote all his plays and my wife and I wrote his sonnets.

Host: Mr Voles, these plays are known to have been performed in the early 17th century. How old are you, Mr Voles?

Voles: 43.

Host: Well, how is it possible for you to have written plays performed over 300 years before you were born?

Voles: Ah well. This is where my claim falls to the ground.

Host: Ah!

Voles: There's no possible way of answering that argument, I'm afraid. I was only hoping you would not make that particular point, but I can see you're more than a match for me!

Host: Mr Voles, thank you very much for coming along.

Voles: My pleasure.

just like the Roach's Corner stuff.. it is all done by

"IMMACULATE INSCRIPTION"

The seller must be in a purple haze! or he has a buddy named Jimi Hendrix

Difficult, no doubt, but not impossible

George Washington,1935-36 (Did he sign "Vern", "Sloan" or "George"?)

George Washington, 2005

(Drafted in the 44th round, but no record. Perhaps had more difficulty crossing the Potomac to get to training camp.)
