Craigslist laugh of the day.....

Wow that first one has me scratching my head. Just add a car battery to your stove to keep your hot water heater going? Really?

That stove looks like someone dumped all the sulfuric acid out of a dozen car batteries over the top if it, right before they burned them all to keep the hot water heater going.

Would sort of like to know what Chainsaw Detailing Service they had come out to clean and detail that saw for the photo.

Buy new chainsaw. put it on the wood. return said chainsaw.

Okay, I didn't catch this one the first time I saw the ad.

If you don't get it, look at the bottom part of the picture more closely.

People are frigging nuts, he has one too many zeros on that asking price.

Birch logs $5 , $1 for a stickI could make a lot of money if people paid a dollar a stick!

 

[jetsam]

Could someone point out to me which ones are the big logs there?

Isn't that a salesman's sample? Essentially a fully-operational scale model of the product they're trying to sell. They're pretty cool, and sometimes worth some coin.

I hope the drywall screws and anchors aren't the "accessories".

I prefer to think that the stove is sitting on a giant tackle box and all those screws are about four feet long.

... and the screwdriver was forged by Bethlehem Steel?

Screws and screwdrivers both come in different sizes.

I used Google Maps to explain it!

Those chains had better be worth $900.

 

[Chas0218]

Those chains had better be worth $900.

Gotta be gold chains....

 

[jetsam]

The 2018 version of that has 25% more horsepower and comes with a mower. And tire tread. But it DOES cost $300 more, sooo....

I wonder what notes that stove might play...

 

[jetsam]

And to think that some people complain that their stove whistles.

I know that many of you here know what dry red oak looks like. So, I give you:

I thought I'd write some better ad copy for them here.

• FULLY SEASONED RED OAK
• SEASONED FOR ONE ENTIRE TRUCK RIDE
• MOISTENED WITH GARDEN HOSE TO AVOID UNSIGHTLY CHECKING
• DON'T KNOW WHAT LENGTH YOUR STOVE TAKES? YOU'LL LOVE OUR RANDOM SIZE ASSORTMENT! FROM 40" TO 8". IF IT DOESN'T FIT, JUST KICK IT INTO THE WATER! MAYBE THAT GUY HAS A STOVE ON HIS SAILBOAT, AND A FEW DAYS SUBMERGED MIGHT FRANKLY DRY THIS WOOD OUT A LITTLE.
