I thought this was going to be a thread about Celebrity Toilets.

Check out this story in the Massachusetts Review. It's about a guy who snapped up Jack Kerouac's former toilet:

It all began, as my daughter’s storybooks say, one brisk day in January, when, laden with the guilt of an evening of excess, I determined that vigorous exercise was in order. Soon, in paint-stained sweat pants, and two faded sweatshirts, I began to chug and churn up the street. As I passed the house in which the King of the Beats once held court, I remarked that renovation was in progress. Hmmm. I spied a pile of rubble on the front porch, and amid it, a dated, pale pink porcelain toilet. Wheels rotated in my cerebellum. Could it be? It must have been - Kerouac’s toilet!

I had circled the block, still lost in these ruminations, when I came once again in view of the seat. Now it happens that Charlie Koukalakis, a co-worker and friend, lives across the street from Jack’s former domicile. I ran off of the road and up to his front door. I rang the doorbell, and wondered how I could broach the subject of the toilet without appearing to be—well, a person with an interest in toilets.

...
“Nah, I was just jogging by Charlie, and...” The guests regarded me with mild interest, probably wondering why I call on people during my exercises. I just couldn’t think of anything else to say. “I see they’re remodeling across the street.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah, he’s putting in a new bathroom,” Charlie offered. Charlie is an awfully civil guy. He always makes you feel like what you said had some point, even when you walk in dripping sweat and talking about his neighbor’s new bathroom.

“Wasn’t that Kerouac’s house? Back in the 60’s?” I managed, casually.

“Yeah, yeah it was.” And Charlie had more pertinent information. “When this guy moved in, he found a box of notebooks and threw them out.”

The football coach said, “They’d be worth a pretty penny today. He must be kicking himself.”

“Oh, yeah. Well people didn’t realize…”

“Charlie, has the bathroom been remodeled since Kerouac lived there?”

He looked puzzled. The women were raising their eyebrows at each other. “Ah, I don’t think so.” It was like a light went on in his eyes just as I asked, “So that was Jack Kerouac’s toilet?”

“Yes, yes, I imagine it was.”

“You’d better grab it,” said the coach, nodding sagely. “The toilet could be significant, because I know he used to write on toilet paper.”
It's pretty funny. He tried to sell it on Ebay, but nobody bid; some French guy emailed him to say ‘You bore me with your toilet. To the toilets with your toilet! You are a typical American! Long live Kerouac! Down with LaChance.’

LOL! Funny on so many levels.
