William Shatner's gall stone

[Kirby]

I don't know how many of you watch Boston Legal, but William Shatner plays the part of a real character, Denny Crane.

Anyway, my mom saw on the news this morning that William Shatner has done something that you could just see Denny Crane doing. He sold one of his gall stones to the highest bidder!

The money is going to charity.

Not to poke fun at Mr. Shatner's misery (no, really), but...

Wouldn't that make a great name for a band?

*********

Now that I've typed it, I'm not sure which would be a better band name:

William Shatner's Gallstone
or
William Shatner's Misery


Maybe we should start a poll!

He'd probably sue for copyright infringement anyway (seriously).
What I should say about the OP: it takes all kinds...

that is gross...who would want a gall stone..ewwwww

 

[Tina]

It was a kidney stone, not a gall stone. Its not nearly as gross. I have had many. They just look like little pebbles.

Oh, well, my mom is hard of hearing. She got it mostly right. At least the money is going to charity. Wonder if Denny Crane would have done that or if the writers will put it in the story line sometime?

I have also had many to sell but there is not enough money to pay for the pain they cause.

I know this just helps get his name out but he does so much for charity .Also has a yearly paintball event that all procedes go to charity as well.

I even had 1 at MCO start before I boarded the plane want to talk about a misserable flight.

I don't know, @ least it helped out a charity.

Can't remember the name of the co/organ. that bought it...out of Vegas (Golden ?). Evidently, they have a habit of collecting strange things for publicity stunts...it's working.

You should see how much I got for my navel lint.

You should see how much I got for my navel lint.

I'm sure it was out of this world Mr. Shatner, you are very "Enterprising"

I happened to be watching Jimmy Kimmel Live when Bill was on.
He was really funny.
He was recounting the kidney stone story
and I missed the beginning but he said when
he got to the hospital there were no regular geurnies (sp?) left,
so they put him on a GYN bed, apparently propped his feet
in the stirrups to help alleviate some pain, and when he was being
wheeled down the corridor in agony another patient looked at him and said,
"Hey look, there goes Captain Kirk, and he's delivering a baby!"

It was a really funny interview!
Jimmy asked Bill what happened to the stone and he said he kept it,
and Jimmy said you should sell it and Bill seemed to like the idea.
I honestly couldn't tell if it was a set-up,
(it didn't seem like it but you never can tell),
but Bill wouldn't let the interview continue until they'd
ironed out how it would be sold - that's when he said
let's do an eBay auction for charity.

I'm glad they did it so quickly!
