Yeah, but anyone who buys it better be careful. What the original poster "forgot" to mention was the clurse of the Kling Tut vest....let me explain....

This afternoon, as I was passing SFO on US101, I saw a strange man wearing a black vest slumped over a road divider on the airport access road to the side of the freeway. Being a good citizen, I got off at the next exit, South Airport Road (which is strangely located NORTH of the airport -- coincidence? I don't think so!) and doubled back.

The man was almost unconscious and he looked to be about 90. I gave him some water and as he recovered, he told me this story:

"My name is Scott and last week on Ebay, I bought this very Kling Tut vest that you see me wearing now. Just before my flight today from Chicago, I put the vest on. Throughout the flight, everything went well. I even had a friendly seatmate who told me his nickname was 'bluetoe' to talk to during the flight.

"My problem started when I arrived at SFO. Something about the black vest felt strange. First of all, it wouldn't come off when I tried to remove it. Second, whenever a taxi, shuttle, or bus driver saw me, they accelerated and refused to stop!

"After a few hours of wandering the airport, and thinking I was close to SF anyway, I gave up and started to walk. But then another strange thing happened. As soon as I left the airport, I kept getting more and more tired and felt older and older. Finally, when I reached a short distance away, I could continue no longer and slumped down. That is why I was here when you were kind enough to come along and find me.

"Now, my good Samaritan friend, I have only one more thing to ask you. Reach into my pocket, get out my wallet, and check my driver's license."

I gently lifted the old man's arm, fearful of hurting him, reached down, and did as I was told. Looking at the i.d., I got the shock of my life. This man, who appeared to be at least 90, was -- according to his driver's license -- a healthy young man of 23!

So, if someday, a website tells you to buy the Kling Tut vest for yourself, and extols its many virtues, I have only one bit of advice for you, but I urge you to regard it most seriously: Do not listen lest you be the next victim of the CLURSE OF THE KLING TUT!

Although, he gave me the sleeveless gloves as a thank you gift, and I must admit that they are pretty cool looking.
