But when a 30-year-old Welsh woman's 35-year-old husband posted her on the block as a joke, she thought it was a hoot. And like many jokes, it's funny until someone makes a bid -- then it's hilarious. The offers started flooding in -- bidders dangled hundreds of pounds in front of the husband's nose. One of them even offered a $13,000 motorcycle with his wife thrown in for free. Not even tempted by the fruit (or the Honda) of another, the spouse proved he was no louse and didn't sell. "It was hilarious; I thought it was brilliant," his coveted missus said. "I was quite flattered by some of the offers."
