A Very Unfortunate Elvis Item

From the department of the ghoulish and disgusting: Medical instruments and other materials relating to the autopsy of Elvis Presley are being put up for auction by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers.

The items — which include a toe tag — were apparently saved by for many years by an embalmer at the Memphis Funeral Home and will be put up for auction in two lots (estimated at $6,000-$8,000 and $4,000-$6,000, respectively) on August 12th. You can see the Hindman site for more details — if you dare.

Gee, I guess this is the first time the words "bad taste" and Elvis will have ever been in close juxtaposition to each other.

I'm convinced there'd be a market for Elvis' last turd (or, for that matter, any of the ones that preceded it), if someone had thought to preserve it/them.

Hey, I wonder what happened to his brain following the autopsy...You don't supposed Francisco still has it, do you?

Another thought, go to Gracelessland with a bunch of baggies, take a breath, blow in the bag, Get to Ebay..... Or do they already sell that at the gift shop?
