Yancey county humane society has an annual W.E.S. every September...this year was awesome...I was there at the crack of dawn..#7 in the door...I bought limoges platters, bowls and other pieces for 2.00 to 4.00 each...beautiful antiques...and a beautiful bisque music box with blue jays on it...only 2.00...some lovely antique dresser scarves for 1.50 each..I got some stuff for Robin and Woo...makes nice Christmas gifts...I didn't have time because the place was so crowded to see everything...but there is a lot of furniture and appliances and tools as well as household stuff....How fun was that...some old guy hit on me...nice but his breath was worse than Bilos. argghhh

I know I'm asking the same question every time, (it starts with "what the heck is a...") but in 28 years of TV and 5 years of American Studies, not to mention almost a decade of banter at these here boards, I've never come across this one before.

White Elephant Sale?

It is when the rednecks take their wives out and try to either swap'em or sell'em. Sometimes, if a man is lucky, he might find him a skinny'un.

See what I mean Vern?

Yeah, that's what I figured. How disappointing. I always wanted an elephant.

Like in that Simpsons episode. Where Bart's elephant Stampy goes on a rampage through Springfield and the foreman of a peanut factory sees the elephant approaching, bolts the doors shut, turns to his co-workers and says, "this is the moment, people! Now I know many of you thought it would never happen. Yet I insisted that we spend half an hour every morning training for it. Some of you thought I was mad, and others even transferred to another peanut factory. But now is the time--" and he gets trampled by the elephant bursting in.

That scene gets me roaring with laughter every time I see it.
