YOU Can Collect Whale Puke for Fun & Profit!
Just walk the beaches of Australia . . .
A beach-strolling south Australian couple found a rounded, grey 32 pound lump of bouyant material they couldn't identify - so, naturally, they brought it home. Turns out its a rare, fatty, perfume ingredient that Sperm whales upchuck called ambergris.
Ambergris gets high dollar in the perfume trade. The couple may make as much as $295,000 from the sale of the whale-blown chunks. The hell!

... people use whale puke in perfume?... whoa...
if whale puke is worth that much, wonder what whale poo is worth?
Probably .02 less than beagle poo, which I could bag and export.
I really meant for that to be a joke, but when I researched it I found that some synthetic fragrances do actually use animal urine and feces...
and now you know why I buy only name brands.
they use fish scales in lipstick too
