Some day historians are going to pine after that receipt like it’s Hans Sprungfeld’s silver tongue.

Kudos on the reference to that pair of crazy ass brother pack rats.

I’ve known a few pack rats in my time and when cleaning out their homes, we never found anything historic or valuable.

Maybe we should have just waited longer until their Key Food receipt for buy one, get one free can of peas became archaic.

Their deaths under toppled stacks of ancient newspapers shall not be in vain.

Thanks for this link, it sounds like a very interesting haul.

We have a lot of thanks to give to various hoarders over the years!
