6-year-old Mark Buffet has posed a question that has left his mother, Nancy Buffet, both bewildered and concerned: “Mom, are there any other fairies like the Tooth Fairy that pay money for human body parts?”

I wouldn't call them fairies but who am I to judge

[-] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

maybe the Appendix Goblin instead of Appendix Fairy? 😀

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

I have personally met the Ass Goblin so there's probably one for the appendix, too

[-] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

I have a feeling if I googled this I'd get a lot of results from Deviant Art

Tooth fairies are the nicest species in the bone fairy group

[-] jrwperformance@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

There's the finger-nail fairy and the random body-hair fairy. But they don't leave money under the pillow, they leave change in the couch cushions.

There aren't other fairies but you should keep a little dirt under your pillow for the Dirt Man

[-] Notthemama@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Otherwise known as the night man, aaaAAAAHHH.

Hey, the kidney fairy gives you a bath tub full of ice for your kidneys

somewhat uneven trade but not all trades can be fair

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

That's why trade negotiations and global alliances are so important.

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I think those fairies are called "black market organ dealers".

[-] Notthemama@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

They are probably still flying!🤣

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

Ok, see, here's an actual real reason I would go back in time for. So I could ask this.

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

$5‽

[-] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

Inflation! Unlike the company I work for, the tooth fairy accounts for inflation with their payouts

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Perineum Fairy: Why yes, Timmy. Yes there are.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Another great article! These light-hearted reads help my mood every time I read them.
