    shitzu – $200


    selling an 8 month old shitzu pup.
    shes very friendly and loving.
    shes very good with kids. shes black and white.
    was born on april 1st 2008.

    im asking $200

    you can reach me at xxx xxx-xxxx
    names ivan

    keywords:: mastiff,saint bernard,rottweiler,husky,labrador,jack russell terrier,reptiles,snakes,monitors,pets,cars,b16,b18,type r,gsr,ls,zc,integra,civic,crx,accord,rsx,tl,k20,h22,infinity,ford,chevy,dodge,chrysler,pioneer,kenwood,alpine,

    “Shitzu”? Really? You know, I think there should be a spelling test for prospective dog owners. Can you spell the name of the breed you’re adopting? No? Then no dog for you.

    That’s quite the keyword list for a “shitzu”. I wonder how many people start off looking for a Saint Bernard and end up buying a Shih Tzu instead because it popped up in their keyword search. Probably about as many as start off looking for Chryslers or Kenwoods, I suppose.

    Keyword spammers deserve to die. As do people who post ads selling animals on Craigslist.

    (In a rare moment of seriousness for me: I’m disturbed by the number of people who are already selling the animals they got for Christmas because they “just can’t take care of them anymore”. Seriously — don’t advertise that you can’t take care of an animal for more than five days and then insist that it go to a “good home”. That’s just stupid and wrong. Grrrrr.)

    Looking for a car? What better place to look than on Craigslist? I’m sure we can find you exactly what you’re looking for.*

    1997 Pontiac Grand Am – $400


    1997 Pontiac Grand Am runs good but wont start. I don’t know whats the matter with it,need it gone asking 400. Trades are acceptable

    168

    The car runs fine as long as you don’t do anything foolish, like trying to start it. But who would try to do that anyway? That’s just crazy. Think about it — if you never start the car, you’ll never drive it, which means you’ll never get into an accident! It’s really a safety feature!

    No? Okay, maybe you would prefer this one?

    1991 lincoln town car – $1000


    the car is in good condition the transmission has no reverse thr car needs a sterrin collom and a grill

    I mean, how often do you really need to go in reverse? And “sterrin colloms” are optional equipment, right?

    * Provided that what you’re looking for is a piece of crap.

    tax deduction


    do you need a tax dedution? my daughter needs her teeth pulled. she is in her 20 and she needs all her teeth pulled. if you know a dentist that will do charity work or if you want to help her and take it as a tax dedution let us know. thank you

    Candace sends this one along with this note: “I wonder if I show up with some pliers and Tylenol…do you think that would count as helping? I was just telling my friend the other day, “You know, I love to pull teeth, and I could really use a nice dedution!”

    Hm.

    So many questions, so few capital letters. Okay, first: what is a 20, and why is your daughter in hers? I mean, I know what a 40 is, but I don’t think I could fit in that, much less in a bottle half that size.

    Second, what on earth have you been feeding your daughter if she is in her 20s and needs all of her teeth pulled? I’m guessing this might be the very first time this poor girl has been to a dentist in her entire life.

    Third: how exactly do you propose to have your daughter eat afterwards? You do realize you’re going to need to replace those missing teeth with something, right?

    Fourth: how would this qualify as a tax deduction? As far as I know, you’re only allowed to deduct medical expenses for qualified dependents. Would paying for someone else to have their teeth removed qualify as charity? If so, would anyone out there be willing to pony up for me to have liposuction? You can deduct it from your taxes! (Note: I am not a qualified tax preparer, and this statement should not be considered as tax preparation advice.)

    Fifth, and possibly most important: how did this person manage to spell “deduction” right in the headline, and misspell it twice in the ad itself?

    Apparently “lots of love” = alcohol. At least they didn’t insist on someone responsible. Maybe they should insist on someone who can spell terrier, though.

    DEAR MEAT


    looking for dear meat…

    I think I saw this movie … wasn’t that Silence of the Lambs?

    “Dear” can also mean “expensive”, so maybe this person is actually looking for very expensive cuts of meat.

    Though somehow I don’t think so.

    Submitted by CM — thanks!
