I spend about 80% of my internet lurking time going through ads on Craigslist. It's sad, really. I don't know how actively people post things on the Craigslists in other cities, but where I live, you can find just about anything on that site. Everything from gently used children's clothing and toys to an inexpensive hooker or kitten. You name it. For me, it's like virtual thrifting heaven without the shipping fees.
Every now and again, I come across an ad that makes me LOL. Sometimes, I'll even find one that makes me ROFLMFAO. Craigslist literally has a '
best of' section on their site, dedicated to sharing the humor in what some people choose to post on the internet.
I don't know if this thread will end up making it very far, but I was hoping others would share any humorous Craislist ads they may encounter.
My personal fave comes from Pheonix. May I introduce you to "
1,325 Pope Hats"... Enjoy.
Because of this terrible economy, I'm having to shut down my business. I have OVER 1300 Pope hats (replicas) that I REALLY need to get rid of. The pope hats came from China and are a little too small for most adult heads and are also irritating to the skin, so you would need to have long hair or wear a smaller hat underneath (just like the REAL POPE). Dogs do not like to wear these pope hats, but maybe a large cat or maybe a nice dog would wear one. My dogs will not but they are not very nice and always hate being dressed up like for Halloween when we tried to dress them up like batman but they became very very agitated and bit a neighbors kid. I will lock the dogs up when you come get all of these pope hats.
My wife is a devout catholic and she finds the presence of all of these pope hats all over the house to be blasphemous. I have pope hats in every closet, pope hats under the sing, pope hats full of other pope hats. She will not stop talking to me about getting rid of the pope hats and has started lighting candles all over the house for my soul but these pope hats are extremely flammable so its a problem in my house (there are pope hats everywhere)
I payed 10x what I'm asking for when I bought these pope hats. I still think there is a market for them maybe when the economy turns around. Act NOW! Don't miss this great deal! I have 1,325 total (I counted this morning). 3 of them have some dog bites and one of them is burnt to a crisp, but you can take that one or leave it. Bring 2-3 strong friends.
