Yes, I saw the reference to Mecca. Dots-mold chips are rare in California, but a few card rooms did order them, as I recall.

The Holy Water story reminds me of an experience I had a couple of years ago. One of my tenants moved out and left behind some bottles of (Christian) Holy Water. I had no idea what to do with them, they were at least 15 years old. He also left behind some containers of oil and transmission fluid. So in an effort to clean up my place - one Saturday I took the whole shebang to the Los Angeles City Hazardous Materials Yard. The man unloading my pickup truck burst out in laughter when he saw the Holy Water Bottle. He too had no idea how to dispose of it!! Perhaps it's still up there, awaiting a Papal Dispensation.
