Someone's dreams are about to come true. I would cut off my left nipple to own a lighthouse. At least one of my nipples has not been pulling it's weight for some time, I won't even miss it.

P.S. I believe if you own a lighthouse, you must dress like the Gorton's Fisherman for life and that is not a bad thing. I'm PRO dress like Gorton's Fisherman.
