Clearly no women could ever be entrusted to MESURE something properly, and obviously women are so stupid that they have to ask a man to explain complicated things like VHF radios. After all, we’re more worried about things like whether the propeller will match our handbag and shoes.
It was really difficult for me to not leave in the phone number and email on this one, and to not encourage those of us with two X chromosomes to call this guy repeatedly and ask stupid questions about what he’s selling. (Or even better, find someone really knowledgeable about them and ask him questions that would stump him!) But I’m a good girl. Just ask my dad.
Sent in by Dan, who obviously knows about this kind of stuff since he’s a guy and all.
Is there something about Craigslist that causes people to lose the ability to spell, or does Craigslist attract the illiterate? That might be a little to chicken/egg to be asking on a Sunday morning, but still…
I wish you had posted his number. That would’ve brought the lulz for sure.
Craigslist, eBay, any site that is friendly to people of average intelligence will provide you with more examples than you can stomach of misspellings, mystery punctuation and alien syntax.
Further proof that the majority of communication between most people really is nonverbal.
Maybe he had a female teach him how to write? If that’s the case I can see the root of his terrible misogyny.
Maybe he’s angry/mysogynistic because he CAN measure … himself … and knows that it’s a number that would inspire comedy/scorn in those of us who can also “mesure”?
I love the random slashes in between words that don’t need them, like Fish/Finder… and the apostrophes that are there when not needed, but not there when they ARE needed!
I feel embarrassed on behalf of all men who know how to spell things like “meAsure” and who know there are women who DO know a lot more than this jerk.
I don’t get embarrassed by what other people do, just what I do. If what I do is embarrassing, that is.
haha this site is awesome
GYAH! MUST… NOT… GOOGLE… AD… AND TELL THIS JACKASS WHAT FOR! AAAAAH!
Sooooo…
man who can barely type > women who evidently can’t measure (but probably actually can)
?
Ack! That guy lives in the next town over from me! Why?? WHY?? Why must all the nutcases come from Texas?
I swear… we’re not all whack jobs.
Aw, it makes me really sad to learn this jerk is from Texas.
K is right: Not all of us are like this!
Well, they aren’t all in Texas, K. Some want to get their crazy on out in Alaska.
I think it’d be more fun to get a bunch of men to call up, all buddy-buddy about ignorant women, who then are even more clueless.
No, he’s right — women can’t understand this ad. Granted, it’s because it’s written in gibberish…
#2, your name made my day!
Not that it’s very funny, but a propeller is measured by its diameter, in this case 14″, and by how far it would travel through a solid if rotated one time, in this case 19″. Not 19 degrees. Not as smart as he thinks.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAA
HUH?!
Do you think even he understood the ad? I just can’t imagine someone typing it out, reading it through and hitting ‘submit’ without a moment of doubt.
I bet Sparky got his cat to write the ad for him.
My cat can do better than that by tapping on the keyboard with her tail and she’s a female!
Apparently men/\/can’t be expected to use (punctuation},, correct….
I confess, after reading so many poorly spelled ads, I thought he was misspelling Bikini for a moment. I was trying to get my head around those measurements.
There, Sparky. I fixed your personal ad for you.
I know nothing.
Sparky is selling what’s left of the boat after he ran aground because he wouldn’t stop and ask for directions. ZING!
No, he wrecked the boat because he was busy getting his own beer because some WOMEN wasn’t doing her JOB.
Women goes with their. Woman goes with her. You lose, Dee. 8)
I was speaking Sparklish. More importantly, every now and then I refresh and see the wrong avatar on some people’s comments. Like right now, you’re a rat. Am I the only one having this issue?
Yes, only you.
Hey Sparky,
This is Bubba, and no, I’m not thinking picking a free deal.
I’m here to take you to task.
You’ve got a boat, some stuff, and it’s cheap. Cheap means low quality and poorly made.
“low cost to you” might be better. My name is Bubba, B-u-b-b-a, not B-U-b-a. Get it right or don’t ever use my name in one of your ads again!
Maybe you should have bought a quality education, so you could learn to spell quality, or perhaps Quailty is a brand name I don’t know about. Hmmm?
(parentheses)Go/2/Marine.com(bracket)(parentheses)West/Marine(bracket)
Dude! Really? If you open with parentheses, then close with parentheses.
Your bimini top, look at your measurements. you have 4 dimensions. It’s 88″wide, it’s 56″ high, and it’s 7’x7″ long. Ok, mabe that’s how long you had it on your boat. See above about quality education.
You’re being a little UNCULAR here.(sorry about that, I can’t pronouns nucular correctly either). You don’t want women that can’t measure to E-mail you. You left a phone number, is it ok if they call you?
You say your boat propeller is all most new. Most of your propeller is new? What part is used, the 14″, the 19 degs, or the stainless steel?
“look at most marine shops”. Dude, i do not have time to go traipsing all over the country looking at marine shops.
You have a fish, a finder, an eagle, an ultra, a classic and maybe a lady. From what I’ve read so far, I’m surprised you used the term “lady”.
You have a V.H.F Realistic Marine Radio with no V.H.F. Realistic is a brand name. I have a Realistic CB Radio in my truck. Your realistic is an adjective. A V.H.F radio with no V.H.F just looks realistic, but it isn’t really real.
You have an outboard, a tram, a mount, and it’s great. No mention of an actual boat in the body of the ad. you took the time to measure your bimini top, you even took time to measure the propeller, no boat measurements? Is there really a boat involved here? It says there is in the title. What is not recommended not over 40hp? It should be a boat. Where is it? Maybe your talking about the outboard. Does the hp rating change on this motor?
Darn, now I’m all irritated. Just forget it, forget I said anything. All I’ve got to say on this subject is: I am so glad I don’t live where you live. I live on the other side of Education.
Bubba
Oops, I misspelled pronounce. Somebody, please take me to task, or to the corner, I don’t have a corner of my own unless I move into my cashew can. I have banana fillet crisps… anyone?
I didn’t know hotmail was in [location].
No wonder those scammers find me so easily.
I will not make an “I’m on a boat” comment.
