Oh, the stories you could tell about this throne. "This toilet was originally installed in the Governor's master bathroom. It is very similar to a current production Kohler model K3398."

The governor's throne is on the auction block.

Two of them, actually: a duo of toilets, one black and one white, along with dozens of other items and fixtures from the governor's official residence in exclusive Oak Hill — all for sale to the highest bidder on GovDeals.com.

The Internet sales are part of an extensive renovation of the Executive Residence by first lady Andrea Conte. Bidding began yesterday and runs through May 5.
