Not long ago, I noted a few, um, interesting ads in my local free-ad paper. Well, the hits just keep on coming:
"Fast abs, slightly used, exc cond $25"They must really have been fast abs if you're selling them 'slightly used!'
"3-n-1 Commode, guardian brand, adjustable height $40"Hmm. I know what 'number 1' is, and I know what 'number 2' is, but what in the hell is 'number 3?'
"Strapless wht wedding dress (sz 8), never worn, veil & underskirt incl $400"and
"Wedding gown, never worn, sz 12, long sleeves, lots of beading and long train $175 obo"These always make me sad. I can easily picture a had-it-up-to-here woman saying "That's it! You get your {lying|cheating|drunk|whoring|gambling} ass out of here right now, and don't come back!
Finally,
"Blind Minister needs gd. used Church Bus, cheap or free"I looked for the companion ad, something like "Blind Minister needs gd. Church Bus driver", but to no avail. I sure hope he finds a driver.
Oh, yeah. The 'typing tape' ad is back, of course. I'm thinking of calling the guy up and offering him $1 to just shit-can the thing and stop running the ad.
