Doggone Funny - Read 'em and Weep!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

 

It's Blooper Blog Friday, so hang onto your hats, my friends. The MLS and the local real estate ads were ripe for the pluckin. Carla Muss-Jacobs of Portland  and Patrick Martin and Jane Peters of L.A. made some witty and wild contributions. You may choke on a few of these unwitting witticisms:

Need a Prescription?

"Hot colons" (Another dinner at Pepe's Mexican Fire Pit, eh?)

"Full service with many aunties" (Is "aunties" code for "hookers"?)

"Two units for smell - probate" (That explains the smell...)

"Beware - Barb wore fence" (Things could be worse - she could have worn the family dog.)

"Large presidents" (You'll need 'em - I may be cheap but I'm expensive.)

"Home needs rubbishing" (How do you plan to hoist it onto the dump truck?)

"More ssales, legs hassle" (Drunks and idiots should put their trousers on one leg at a time.)

Needs Decryption

"High bean ceilings in living room" (I take it pot sales are booming?) 

"Don't judge by appearance" (Well it's hard not to notice that tin foil hat on your head.)

"Big population expansion area" (The food aisles at Walmart?)

"Call for derail" (Amtrak - dependable as always...)

"Sudden living room" (Apparently your last LSD tab was the size of a napkin...)

"Opportunity to make a prophet" (Moses' favorite pick-up line.)

"Outdoors fire lit" (It seems that's not the only thing that has been lighting up...)

Beyond Description!

"Rear hard with deck for entertaining" (Sign taped on Kim Kardashian's back.)

"This will shit your fussiest buyers" (And yet another reason not to swallow...)

 

That's it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell!

You had me worried there Gwen, I thought I lost a day. Thanks for the early edition of the Blooper Blog Friday. I loved your response to "Opportunity to make a Prophet."

Gwen, it's hard to believe that some agents don't proof their work. These are great...as usual!

I'm thinking those high bean ceilings would be perfect for those hot colons. It works, right?

Gwen - not just amusing, but a warning that you'll be watching ... nothing beats spell-check - except maybe "proof reading!"

Hi Gwen -- just for the inclusion of Barb wore fence this should be a featured post!   It is impossible to make up this stuff!

Another example showing the final value of public schools...

However, I have seen many houses that need rubbishing and I called for a derail!

Jay, I have one now that could use an "outdoor fire lit"  - by using a match and a gas can.
