"Belly button lint collection wins place in record books"The Today Show outclasses Tampon Taxidermy!
The Australian librarian started “harvesting” his fluff in 1984, at a youth hostel in Brisbane. After 26 years, the complete collection now weighs 22.1 grams, or .77 ounces… Barker sold three of his jars to a museum for an undisclosed sum and is a quarter of the way to filling a fourth.

I am the jambo juice of belly button lint. -t.m.
also, one of his eyes lives in the ocean ‘cause it aint got no job. -t.m.
Your relationship with Jamba Juice worries me...

p.s. How does only one eye have a job? Sounds awkward.
the eye is lazy, you dillwad! -t.m.
"Dillwad" sounds like an excellent insult for a belly button harvester. Or maybe "Wad-wad" (The Wad of Wads) or "Mister Navel." Lint-flint? Brisbane Belly Man. I'll stop now.
The full article quotes Brisbane Belly Man as saying “If my belly stopped producing lint tomorrow I might feel surprised but not disappointed.” This makes me want to be a journalist.
