主题：人艰不拆讲笑话之二 -- 骨头龙

美国盖茨堡的总统和第一夫人蜡像馆内陈列着美国历届领导人和他们的第一夫人的蜡像。自1957年开馆以来，已有一百多万人参观了该蜡像馆。但是由于游客寥寥，该蜡像馆面临关闭的窘境，不得不拍卖所有的蜡像。拍卖会于2017年1月14日在盖茨堡1863旅馆举行。

总统蜡像平均价格为3088美元。成交价最高的三名总统是Abraham Lincoln ($9,350); Teddy Roosevelt ($8,800); Ulysses S. Grant ($6,820)，最低的三位总统是James Monroe ($1,100); Franklin Pierce ($1,430); James Madison ($1,430)

John Oliver的《上周今夜秀》斥资13700美元购买了五具蜡像。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cBV8KFFasY&t=282s
