Elvis BibleElvis’ bible sold for about $94,000. His soiled underwear wasn’t so lucky.

You ain’t nothin but underwear and you ain’t no friend of mine.

Elvis Presley’s old Bible was auctioned for a whopping $94,600 on Saturday but bidders turned their noses at a pair of the King of Rock and Roll’s stained underpants, NBC News reported.

The Bible was reportedly given to the singer at his Graceland home in 1957, and bought by an American man based in Britain.

But a pair of Presley’s soiled — and, frankly, pretty gross — tighty whities, worn underneath his white jumpsuit during a 1977 concert, only reached a bid of about $8,000. The reserve price was about $11,000, so it didn’t sell, Rolling Stone reported.
