Funny classified ads
Found this yesterday in the freebies, pic from the ad attached. I can't attach the other one from here but it's nearly the same anyway.

Quote:
Do you have some sort of need for 2x4 scraps? Come get them, because I sure as heck don't want them. I've got three boxes of these suckers just taking up space.

Throw them at your friends! Stack them into aesthetically pleasing piles! Burn them in various offensive shapes on your neighbor's lawn to show them who's boss. You know, whatever one does with a bunch of short 2x4 scraps.
So, if if anyone finds an ad that seems meant to be humorous, please share!

This reminds me of Jay Leno's Headlines segment.

I don't know if it's on any of those videos, but Jay once showed a print ad from one of our local businesses, Jacob's Meat Market. They will occasionally put something funny in their ads just to make you read their ads fully. They had either chicken wings or chicken legs on sale, but the price was different by 1-cent/lb. if you wanted them from the left side or the right side of the bird.

I wish I had saved a CL posting for a 1952 Packard in Greenbay...The thing had no title, and was painted up like a Greenbay Packers jersey...I thought the listing needed to be changed to "The Greenbay Packard: no title in title town"...

There was another add about 2 months ago in Milwaukee with a 1964 Ford Falcon in a tree.

Despite being a cat lover I can't help but laugh my ass off over that 'cat carrier'.

I realized the cat carrier ad is a joke... when I saw "Available in fine stores everywhere". Only Wally Mart would carry such a thing, and they're by no means "fine".
