    Somewhere, there is a collector who is preparing to bid on this item.

    The weekend is upon us and the weather is bad in large areas of the country. I have my fireplace going and I have a bottle of wine open.

    Maybe Stacks is heavily invested in Pfizer stock and they're indirectly marketing Viagra.

    Before seeing the lot description, I was going to say it was because Pistareen needs a girlfriend.

    Under "Terms of Sale"? Just legal boilerplate, I'm sure.

    Sex sells. They must be trying to expand market share.

    Hence the reason for the document in the first place...........

    It must be a cold cold lonely night at Stacks.

    LOL. Didn't even occur to me that way, except perhaps in my seedly subconsious. It would have been better if it was from the 1600s though.

    Ultimately, it's all about fornication...

    For those that do not understand the term "True Bill" this is the document of her indictment for the crime of fornication signed by the grand jury. This would be an interesting piece of history for document collectors.

    I remember a cartoon from the British humor magazine "Punch."

    Two women are talking in Hell. One of them is dressed as a lascivious French tart. The other is dressed in a modest medieval rich Lady's costume. The Lady says to the tart: "Really? Why, in the 15th Century, you could be sent here for practically anything!!!"

    LOL. Perhaps they could get more mileage if they had such a document from a more recent century though.

    "Stack's is trying to change their conservative, stuffy image. "

    Maybe one of the staff was Miss Smith's partner?
