Steal of a deal

OK, here’s the deal. How many trees are 2,000 years old? Not many, right? So an enterprising Australian company is offering 24 large congregational crosses, 12 feet high and eight feet wide. Price? $1 million US.

The trees were found preserved in the ground by a property developer and are guaranteed carbon-dated 2,000 years old.

Buy nine and you get one free. Or, for an additional $100,000, you can get the Calvary Ensemble: the large church cross, two six-by-four-foot congregational crosses and a free altar cross.

Can’t scrape up $1,000,000? Perhaps use petty cash to buy the 3×2-foot altar cross for $100,000.
