"Charmin Home" - Wiping Out On the MLS

Friends, I'm out of town this week, but I thought you would enjoy this Blooper Blog re-run:

From blundering fools to complete tools, the bloopers on the MLS were hysterical this week, folks. I received some great contributions from John M. Scott of beautiful San Francisco, Jane Peters from right here in our beloved L.A., and Bruce Walter from the great Hoosier State of Indiana. Enjoy the goofs, and have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

First the Fools…

“Large fool for fun” (Let me guess - slogan on your business card?)

“Three badrooms” (Cue the music: Two turtle doves and an agent in a du-u-unce hat.)

“Small lender” (That's politically incorrect - I believe they prefer "elven"…)

“Parka in living room” (Eskimo in a hot tub?)

“It has a spa-size tube” (Ideal for group colonics...)

“Must have load approval” (Warning on a jock strap?)

“High Clings” (There's nothing more stylish than a Velcro wall.) 

Now The Tools…

“Lovely hose with room to grow” (My arse would appreciate a pair of those!)

“Charmin Santa Monca Home. Neer beach, Fwy, Shopping mol, Restorant.” (Uh, your lobotomy just kicked in.) 

“With lush lover area” (That explains the naked people frollicking by your wet bar...) 

“Hight demant area” (Highly demented agent.)

"New cranit counter tops” (The seller should tell you to cranit!)

“Room to build big poon” (Nope, not goin' there...)

This Week’s Bottoms Up Award Goes to:

“Large 5 bdd & 2 ba home with hordwoods floors, loundry room…in desrable San Pablo area very lage floor plane”   (First, put down your drink and your bong. Back away from all sharp objects. Remove the lampshade from your head and the light bulb from your mouth.  Do not, I repeat, do not, stick your car keys in the outlet again just to see if your nose will light up - cease and desist!)

Michael, I wanted to add that I hear so much bad grammar on the news that I sometimes wonder if anyone cares anymore...

Randy, I make my own blunders every day. So believe me, as I gently point the finger at others, I'm also pointing at myself!

Marte, I can only guess they were going for "parquet"...or they own a parakeet :-)
