The replacement arrived yesterday, in a Lego(tm) ziplock bag, in a large
padded bag, with a 'with compliments' slip with the message "Please find
enclosed a replacement head" (which my wife finds amusing). They gave me two
hairpieces as well (one brown, one black), but they gave me a pointy
moustache head rather than a JT head (I prefer the pointy moustache head

Now, a genuine Lego zip lock bag has got to be worth *a lot*, right? ;-)

Sell the ziplock to the highest bidder,
but I wouldn't mind the fissured head, name your trade desires.

Or if you want to keep it, you could set up a museum of medical deformities,
like the one at Sydney University. Just pop it in a Lego fishbowl... I mean
place it in a Lego fishbowl, since it's already been popped.
