Today is Giving Tuesday, which has become a “thing” over the past decade . . . maybe because some people feel guilty after dropping a bunch of cash on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

There are a lot of ways to help others . . . throughout the whole year . . . and one way is donating stuff you don’t need to places like Goodwill.  But one person’s junk is NOT always another person’s treasure.

There’s a list of the “most bizarre items people donated to Goodwill” . . . which was compiled with help from Goodwill workers and shoppers.  It includes:

1.  A guillotine.  An employee says they think it went for $30.

2.  Bags of groceries.  Probably by accident.

3.  Literal bags of garbage.  And NOT by accident.

4.  A basket of taxidermy kittens.

5.  A glass jar labeled, “Fart, June 1975.”

6.  A rock . . . just a normal rock.  The Goodwill put an $11 tag on it.  It sold.

7.  A Louis Vuitton purse . . . with human teeth inside.

8.  A tiny toy car that said, “Pizza with bean . . . have you tried it?”

9.  An entire cardboard box of original newspapers from historical events, like Kennedy’s assassination . . . Nixon’s resignation . . . and the Man on the Moon.

10.  A glow-in-the-dark Ouija board.

11.  A chair shaped like a Labrador Retriever.

12.  A dog “sculpture” made out of random metals, including golf clubs, and a bathroom faucet.

13.  A coffin.

14.  A “fertility idol.”

15.  “Underwear for squirrels.”

16.  And a painting of Rosey the Robot Maid from “The Jetsons” . . . showing Rosey posing provocatively.  (Here’s a photo of that.)
