Ailing hiker for sale

Is Iran a great country, or what? Having jailed three American hikers for over a year, it is now offering one of them for sale at a knock-down rate of $500,000. It seems she is sick. What do you suppose a healthy male American goes for, in the demented minds of the mullahs? A million, I suppose. D'you think they might sell the three captives as a package, say for $2 million? Or perhaps, like North Korea, they'd settle for a visit by Jimmy Carter. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
