Re: bed rails

Dropping off a boat in northern Ontario, I came across a marina that had all sorts of railing parts. I purchased two bullets from them, though they tuned out to be much shorter than the originals, they did fit snug into the towers and the matched the contour of the towers as well.

So on Ebay I came across a listing for spotlight brackets that were actually the towers for the side rails. I message the guy and he tells me he has 10 of them in a bucket. So being the nice guy that I was, I tell him what they actually were. Auction ends and he informs me that the auction was for 1, though in his description, he mentioned the 10.
He starts another auction and sells the remaining, with the correct description that I gave him and they sell for $250.00.
I vowed to take the one tower I received and make it into a toilet paper holder. This way every time I take a dump, it will remind me to keep my s..t to myself.
