    Default Some people would buy anything!

    ! Maybe I should fart into a bottle. "But wait! There's more! With each bottle of my fart gas will be included a nice brown nugget so the odour can linger!" Do you think that will work?
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Whats the problem? Don't buy it.

    They were selling 'Canned Air' at Katoomba, NSW over 50 YEARS ago.

    The can was one of those 'sampler' sized ones and was labeled with instructions on how to use it along with a picture of the 'Three Sisters' and claimed it was closed up at the 'Look Out' at Echo Point.
    As I remember it was also sold at the Scenic Railway, the now closed Paragon Cafe and a couple of other places selling Tourist memorabilia.
    Every now and again it re-appears from what I am told to remind the buyer of their Visit to the Blue Mountains.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Yeah, I remember.

    Cans of Manly Beach sand were sold at one time too.

    I dont remember that one which if it was too successful could be a major problem as some of those beaches do have to watch how much sand they have but selling 'AIR' of course changes nothing to the environment.

    Now maybe a can 'filled' with Air taken on a Manly Ferry as it passes 'the Heads' might sell.......after opening you put the can to your ear and hear the ocean......


    Wott about a can of Fumes from the Pits at Mt Panorama during the Bathurst 1000???

    My old man used to have one of those cans. In the directions, it said to open in a well aired space (or something similar).
