patgund Ultra rare Platypus testicle fur sweater like new
"This is the chance of a lifetime! Platypus testicle fur is the rarest and most precious fabric in the world! Platypus testicles are rather small and the fur only grows out a millimeter or so, therefore the average sweater requires at least 3000 platypi be shaved. None are hurt during this process but they don't seem to enjoy it too much.
The tiny shavings are carefully wrapped in dried yam skins and then hand carried to the airport. But they don't just get tossed on a plane. Due to their value and delicate nature they are only transported by hot air balloon. They are taken directly to Africa (the birth place of civilisation) so that the Pygmys can twist and loom the fibers into yarn. The reason Pygmy's are used is because they are small and can hold the tiny puffs of fur in a way no average human could possibly hope to.
The balloon ride can be treacherous, the ride from Australia to Africa can take many, many, many hours. Sometimes as much as a day even. Sky pirates loom behind every cloud, anxious to steal the fur and eat the yam skins. For every 3 balloons that leave Australia, only one makes it to Africa with their precious cargo intact!
This sweater is a size small, but it would easily fit an average medium or a petite large. It would never work for a jumbo though, but perhaps a jumbo could purchase this as a gift for someone who is one of the sizes mentioned above. Would make an excellent gift for that special someone. Thank you for looking and happy bidding!"
