Dung souvenir based on holy phrase

(BBC)

The manager of a tourist centre in the Holy Land has come up with an unusual idea for a souvenir.

Visitors to Menachem Goldberg's tourist compound at Kedem village in Galilee can buy pieces of donkey dung presented in a plastic cube inscribed with religious text.

Mr Goldberg based the idea on a phrase in the Jewish Talmud which says, ''Let the messiah come... may I be worthy to sit in the shadow of his donkey's dung.'
