Would You Like to Get on Top of Marilyn Monroe?

Elsie Poncher, a Los Angeles widow, is selling the tomb above Marilyn Monroe. Apparently, her husband, Richard, who died in 1986, purchased that plot and another in the same mausoleum from Joe Dimaggio in 1954. Richard informed his wife that "if you don't put me upside down over Marilyn, I'll haunt you for the rest of my life".  Well, I guess she doesn't believe in ghosts anymore because the plot is currently listed on eBay with 13 bids. 

Bidding for the plot started at $500K on August, quickly progressed over the next couple of days, and is now holding at a little over $4.5 million.  Elsie is looking to pay off the mortgage on her $1.5 million estate so that her kids can have it free and clear, and some rich mfer is going to make that happen.  Hugh Hefner currently has the spot next to her and I don't think anybody would be surprised if that creepster was involved in one of the current 13 bids.

So start scraping the change out of your crusty sofa, because if you want to spend eternity on top of Marliyn Monroe, you're going to need a lot of pennies.
