How to cash in on your divorce?

Philalethes writes "This guy found his ex-wife's wedding dress in the attic ('she took the $4000 engagement ring but left the dress') and put it up on eBay, hoping to recoup the $1200 it cost him when 'my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn’t so I got stuck with the bill. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years. Thank the Lord we didn't have kids. If they would have turned out like her or her family I would have slit my wrists.' Seems he hit a nerve; it's been forwarded around the 'Net (I heard about it from a friend's mailing list), and after six days the auction's had more than 4,800,000 hits (yes, that's four million eight hundred thousand -- 25,000 in the last four minutes), the bidding's over $15,000, and he's had a lot of emails, both negative and supportive. And media invitations. (The auction ends today, but the page should remain accessible for 90 days.) Looks like a possible new career for this guy."
