I'm sure that whoever originally named the street this sign came from didn't actually have his or her mind in the gutter. For those of us who do have our minds in the gutter, this is a funny eBay listing.

There are actually three items in this funny eBay auction: - A latex mangled toe

I've heard that pets are supposed to reduce your stress level and make you live longer. Maybe investing in this little guy would be a great idea. Also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to be fed or walked.

Have you had your shower yet today? If not, you should take a look at this. This weird eBay listing is for a bar of soap. The seller says it's special because it was the last one on the grocery store shelf and it was supposed to have been part of a larger package but was instead sitting there by itself. If you win this one, at least your wallet will be cleaned out.
 This listing currently has 294 views and 11 bids. It's up to $85.36 from a starting bid of $9.99. Link: Weird Auction. Update: This one ended with 704 view and and 12 bids. The final total was $100.77.

This doll pops up in strange places and makes mysterious crying sounds in the night. Be sure you really want her before you bid on her. The seller threw her out with the trash once and she came back!

This weird auction is so strange, it'll make your teeth chatter.  These are antique dentures that are around 100 years old. Anybody in the market for some chompers?

The seller in this weird eBay auction is actually just selling two cherries that are stuck together. According to the text of the listing, this is rare and should therefore be considered a collector's item. I'm no cherry expert, so I can't say it isn't. Anybody want to bid $50,000?
 This listing currently has 163 views and 45 bids. It's up to $30,300.00 (really) from a starting bid of $24.99. I'm including a copy of the bidding history, just because it's amazing: Link: Weird Auction. Update: This one ended at $30,300.00 and 45 bids. The total number of views was 271. So, does anybody think the seller will actually collect?

This funny eBay auction is simply for a leftover fortune cookie. The seller ordered Chinese food and didn't eat (or open) the cookie. If you want to know what your future will hold (besides 100 extra calories), then dig in!
 This listing currently has 573 views and 29 bids. It's up to $47.00 from a starting bid of 10 cents. Link: Weird Auction. Update (July 15): This one still has three days left. But, right now it's up to $8,575.00. There are 58 bids and 4490 views. Update (July 21): eBay didn't like this listing and removed it. The seller says it was because there was a link in it to an outside site. That is a no-no according to eBay's terms of service. But eBay weird stuff preservers! It has been relisted (without the outside link). If you'd like to see it, here's the link: Weird Auction. It's currently at $472.00 from a starting bid of 10 cents. It has 2157 viewers and 31 bids.

I really have very little dignity of my own. Maybe I should buy. The seller says he's lost his job, his girlfriend and his TV remote. He figures he's got nothing much to loose by parting with his dignity too.
 This listing currently has 96 views and 8 bids. It's up to $7.50 from a starting bid of $1.00. Would you sell your dignity for that? Link: Weird Auction. Update: It turns out that as far as weird stuff sold on eBay is concerned, dignity doesn't sell for much. This one ended up with 262 views, 8 bids and a total price of $7.50.

Do you need a little something to chew on? This listing is for a 30 cent pack of Doublemint gum.
 This listing currently has 1,519 views and 25 bids. It's up to $280.01 so far. The starting bid was, of course, 30 cents. Link: Weird Auction. Update: Strange auctions sometimes get removed. This one got removed by eBay. There must have been something they didn't like about it. (Maybe because it was a food item??) It was over $300 the last time I looked at it.
