And really, it was never explicitly mentioned that he actually sold it, just how much it would fetch at auction.
Considering the amount of impulse buying Ray does on eBay and the fact there's never been any sign that he's ever even needed any more money since Ass In Your Pants, I never made the assumption that he actually sold the daguerrotype.
Was he a breast man before or after that, anyway? He did mention that the lady was about to be spanked and so it may be worth more to certain...

I like like that Philippe specifically considers committing suicide . There are so few things in this world to commit. Adultery is one. To the Lord Buddha is probably the only other one that I can think of right now.

Something in his head-voice tells me Phillipe thinks that "to commit suicide" is akin to "to take a long trip far away" or "a peaceful nap." (lies my mother told me.)
