Own A Piece Of Literary History!

8/18/2010 3:40 PM ET | Filed under: Silly!

How would you like to be inspired to write a masterpiece novel?

For the low, low price of $1,000,000, you can bid on J.D. Salinger’s toilet, which he may very well have sat on while writing his classic Catcher in the Rye. Gotta love Ebay!

Here’s what the listing says about this must-bid item:

When he died, his wife inherited all of his manuscripts with plans to eventually release some of them! Who knows how many of these stories were thought up and written while Salinger sat on this throne!

This vintage toilet is from 1962 and is dated under the lid. It will come to you uncleaned and in it's original condition when it was removed from Salinger's old home!

We’ll have to give this some thought. Admittedly, a million dollars isn’t what we’re accustomed to paying for a toilet, BUT they are offering free shipping. Definitely something to think about.

Will U bid on J.D. Salinger’s toilet?

your basic used kitchen sponge and counter tend to have more bacteria on it than a toilet seat………still, that's some nasty shit……

Perez and Company - J D Salinger must have been thinking of you when he wrote "All morons hate it when you call them a moron." I like Salinger but prefer Hunter S Thompson myself.

He stopped writing in the late 1950's (CITR was written in 1951 I think) so he didn't really produce any work after he got this toilet…omg its cursed

I know I don't have a pot to piss in but … When I become famous, I'm never going to do any interviews and be a recluse, so someday, someone, somewhere will buy my million dollar shit hole.
