Press Release Summary: Georgia travel agent hopes eager ebay® buyers grab coupon
redeemable for bizarre berry.

Press Release Body: Atlanta, GA. April 14, 2008 -- Move over Virgin Mary toast,
ghost cane, and Illinois cornflake. Sometimes fetching thousands of dollars for
creative ebay® sellers, strange items listed in the \"Weird Stuff\" category on the
world\'s most popular auction site just keep rolling on in.

Now it\'s a coupon entitling the winning bidder to a mutant strawberry. A Georgia
travel agent is hoping a buyer will grab her coupon redeemable for the bizarre berry
she found in a batch of strawberries bought at a local Sam\'s Club.

According to Ann Lombardi, one of Atlanta\'s The Trip ChicksT, the unusual strawberry
bears \"a weird resemblance to two penguins kissing, right down to the birds\' wings
and profiles.\"

Apparently while washing the berries destined for her daily smoothies, Lombardi
spotted the \"kissing penguins\" at the bottom of the container. \"I decided then and
there to rescue the berry from what would have been a certain death at the hands of
my blender,\" she explains.

Though quick to point out the \"kissing penguins\" strawberry is meant only to be a
conversation piece and definitely not part of someone\'s shortcake or sundae, the
long-time travel agent still hasn\'t figured out how to preserve the bodacious berry
for safe shipping to a new owner. Lombardi has only until April 18th, the auction
end date, to make sure the strawberry travels well. The next day she leaves to
Europe on a business trip.
