The joke is on these losers! I called dibs on the Sea of Tranquility when I was about 8 years old, so I already own it!

So... when did we start selling off land on planet(oid)s that we don't even own? I know someone has been selling stars, which is even more ridiculous.

Okay, starting right now, I'm selling off plots of land in alternate dimensions! Who wants to buy some primo real estate in the alternate Earth where everything is made of pancakes?

At 100.00 a pop, those better be some damned good fake deeds. Luckily for you, my friends, my imaginary alternate dimension real estate is 100% legit and real!

The deed claims to be for 1 acre of moon land. This guy lacks imagination! Since they are fake anyway, why not make them for 1 million acres?

Well done, Michael! Bravo! This mirrors Adlai Stevenson's famous quote. (From Wikiquotes)

Reporter: "Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!"

Stevenson: "That's not enough, madam, we need a majority!"
