two funnies

OK, so there is a sale group in the county here in Kentucky on facebook. I pull it up on my computer every now and then just to see what people have for sale locally. You never know, I might find a great deal on something. But tonight I just got tickled. Here are two headlines from ads that I saw tonight.

Bike for sale. Road once. (really, maybe you "rowed" it?)

and this little gem:

For sale: little big wheel (so is it little or is it big?)

I just thought I'd share. They just tickled my funny bone, for some reason. I actually had to laugh.

ha those are hilarious! I remember the big wheels, all the kids always had one, that was the thing so as soon as they were old enough I was excited to get one for the kids I raised..... Found out that kids nowadays aren't interested in manual pedals. I love to look at ads too! and have seen some doozies. Back in the summer, I saw one listed in the back woods trader that I still crack up over it said 1961 Interracial tractor 3 cylinder good tires 1,250 or trade for jeep with a wench.

I suppose it was meant to be an International tractor.. but who knows since he also wanted a wench.

OK, that's funny. I think guys are ALWAYS looking for a "wench".

I saw a add several years ago. Someone was selling a water barrel. The add actually said "to a good home".

Its a water barrel not a live animal!

Here's another one I found just now "Im looking for ppl who ride sportsbikes who wood like to form a riding group"

My response: You know wood comes from trees, right?

Those kinds of ads always remind me of some of the horse listings I've seen....such as gilded filly colt OMG

 

[dixie_belle]

Aside from the whole what is a filly colt thing...ahem....how much do you figure it costs to "gild" a horse, anyway? And are we talking gold or silver here? I'd really like to see that.

Remember, you can't fix stupid. LOL

Aside from the whole what is a filly colt thing...ahem....

Filly colt and stud colt are quite common around here, as in general baby horses are called colts, so therefore a filly colt is a girl and a stud colt is a boy. That said, it drives me nuts.

Everyone around here used "stud colt, filly colt" back in the day. I remember my uncle using it in the 1960s through the late seventies. I don't hear it anymore, except for my mom. She still calls a colt a "stud colt" but a filly is just a filly!

I actually had a children's "big" book of horses (paint/drawing illustrated) that listed the babies as a colt foal and a filly foal... and showed a drawn picture of a foal that you had no idea what *** it may have been (was a cute fuzzy bay though)...

I no longer have that one, though have been able to get some that are similar.

I saw one the other day and they were selling a "Beautiful Philly". All I could picture was a Philly cheese steak with legs haha
