Arrr matey! A dusty ol' parchment of the U.S. Constitution, aged 237 years, be sold fer a treasure o' $9 million! Found in a landlubber's cabinet, it be worth more than all the doubloons in the Caribbean! Blimey, who knew history be fetchin' such booty?
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round fer a tale from yon distant shores! Two years past, the treasure known as the U.S. Constitution—a rare piece printed by the crafty Charles Thomson—was plundered from a dusty ol' filing cabinet in a North Carolina abode! Aye, this ancient scroll fetched a mighty $9 million at auction, makin' it a finer catch than any pirate gold! Once layin’ forgotten like a shipwrecked vessel under a can of stain, this 237-year-old parchment had a storied past, hidden away in a home that once belonged to Governor Samuel Johnston. How it became trapped in that metal cabinet remains a mystery, as perplexin’ as findin’ a mermaid in a tavern! Thomson had printed but a hundred copies of this grand document during the Continental Congress, and only eight still sail the seas—most in public hands, mind ye. The auctioneer, a scallywag named Andrew Brunk, proclaimed the parchment a bridge between the good folks and their government, shoutin’ ‘We the People!’—the rallyin’ cry of liberty! In just seven swift minutes, the bids soared, like cannonballs flyin’ through the air! Though many think they possess treasures of history, most be mere fakes. But this fine find be a true heirloom, worthy of the fiercest pirate’s chest!
