"It's A Man's World..." Dept, Updated

The final number on the handbag auction is in. That would be the handbag in the incident I posted on a few days ago...you know, the one that inspired the following opening paragraphs in a gleeful Aussie paper:

A New Zealand rugby player burst into tears when his captain hit him with a woman's handbag in an early morning incident in a Christchurch bar, news reports said today.

The pair were then thrown out by a female bouncer.

The handbag and broken cellphone involved have been sold for 22,800 NZD, or roughly $14,350 U.S.

Fifty bucks says the bloke who bought it hails from the land that gave us Olivia Newton-John, Men at Work and that one actor dude who liked to fantasize about wrestling crocodiles. But hey, at least it takes a male bouncer to kick an Aussie rugby bloke out of the pub...

(That's fifty NZD, by the way -- hey, I have eight kids, you think I can afford fifty American dollars?)
