"Shoot through a tree"

Neighbor of mine's father had a framed copy of the constitution decades ago. Traded it to a bar on the way home from fishing for $5. It had been riding around in the trunk of his car for a long time.

It hung over the bar for years and turned out to be one of the original copies and sold for 5 million.

At least that's how she tells it.

Very interesting stories, y'all! Back in the early '60s, my dad was at a well known local gun/surplus store and saw a lady trading a mint artillery luger for a Saturday Night Special! Being 11 or 12 at the time, my dad tried to get his mom to buy it for him, with his money, I believe. Think it was relatively cheap once the guy put it out. But she wouldn't do it.
