Craigslist
I have been using craigslist a lot lately to broker some used couches for a fair price. When I was searching my inbox I was reminded of a wonderful prank involving craigslist I was playing on my friend before I forgot about it. It is entirely possible that I am the only person that thinks this was hilarious. I just wish I could have been there when he got the calls.
Here are some of my favorite ones:
“For Barter”
“2001 classic car calendar for sale or trade. Includes most major Jewish and Canadian holidays, as well as the independence days for various countries. Some birthdays and anniversaries of people you don’t know marked out. In decent condition, can be hung on most walls. People without pets preferred.”
“Wanted”
“Looking for two goon type accomplices for crime syndicate. One must be a lumbering giant that doesn’t say much. One must be of the sneaky rat faced variety. Greasy black hair preferred. Must not be able to know who turned out the lights. Please no time wasters.”
“for trade”
“One secret. Must be willing to trade a secret of similar value, though all offers considered.”
-the secret one got me over 30 responses alone!
