The seller says:

This is a grapefruit. It is made of cheese:

Betcha didn't know that your dog could keep Kosher, too!

5. Our advice to ALL eBay buyer:
Whether you buy your antiquities from us or other ebay sellers we strongly recommend that you show all your purchases to your nearest reputable state museum for authentication and peace of mind. Unfortunately the ancient art market is cursed with a high proportion of fakes. Fakes often look better than real antiquities to the inexperienced eye - they are often intact, invariably unrestored (although their contours are dull usually) and their colours are more vivid. Our buyers can count on a 100% money back guarantee if a state museum judges their purchase to be non-ancient. Seek the same re-assurance from all those who sell to you.

Think they'd make good on that promise?

Aren't those Du-Bro links on the valves?

I do believe that's the funniest thing I've heard all day.

Kosher dog, heh. Try telling that to any member of the Jewish faith

This is a grapefruit. It is made of cheese

and the dog on the can is saying "oy"

and I bet the ad says it's "such a deal"
