July Jollies - The Blooper Blog is Back!

Hi Friends, some of you asked for another MLS blooper post, so I aim to please. Here is a mixture of some new head-scratching bloopers, as well as some of my old favorites that I thought were so funny they deserved another round:  

Plug In The George Foreman

“Radiation heat” (Buy, fry, and die.)

"Really goose house" (We'll bend over backwards for you.)

“Flame retarded fabrics” (I think the flames had the same effect on you.)

“Sale due to divorcee"  (Did you really believe she was your hubby's mechanic?)

"Chandeeleer excluded" (Because it fell on your head and scrambled your alphabet?)

And Now For the Side Dishes

“Drawing for a pad” (For those with urinary challenges...)

“Nice orifice”  (Get your foot out of it.)

“Trees will be curt” (They must be French.)

“Will disgust carrie” (That's because Will can't spell.)

“Gas – landlord” (I suspect he needs to make a deposit.)  

Just Desserts

"Spittle staircase" (This house will make you drool.)

“Call about nice seller proposal” (As long as he has a job and is six feet above dirt, maybe I will...)

“Incorrigible city views” (Welcome to Los Angeles.)

My Faves of the Week

“Please aske for assassin” (I'm sure your wife already has.)

“Lawn just laid” (This yard gets more action than I do.)

 

That's all until next time, folks. In the meantime - Spell Well and Sell! * This is a re-post from 2016, as I am out for the summer. I hope you enjoyed it! )

Not a bad one in the bunch but I go for nice orifice as my favorite. However, I do prize intelligence first.

Jay Markanich, I am happy to hear you are not a lawn pimp. Now re your dog's foot fetish...well that is a different subject. Maybe by sniffing she can detect where you have been. You should hire her out to private detectives...or maybe you can teach her to speak French and hunt truffles.

Gwen -- there is a company around here that uses Beagles to detect termite methane.  The dogs find termites when inside walls and are most effective!  It isn't the run-of-the-mill "visual" termite inspection!  And they do it for treats.

I have never had a truffle, but wouldn't trifle with trying to find them around here. 

As to the dog, the more organic the smell the more interest displayed.  It isn't just feet...

Jay Markanich, my Golden Retriever actually was obsessed with a sore on my leg that turned out to be malignant. Dogs are amazing!

Reblog or not, Gwen, it still gives us a chance to laugh at ourselves....lighter moments are needed in a crazy business like ours.

Gwen, how did I miss a new blooper stupor? I've worked with a few couples who might have asked for that assassin's number at closing.

Mike Cooper, there have been a few times in my career when I could have used that number myself!  :-)

It is too bad you are out for the summer, as someone might be ringing your doorbell at this very moment.

Love your use of illiteration at your introduction to your blog.

Thanks, RJ. I’m checking in periodically, but I’m busy working on my third novel. I hope all is well with you and that your business is busy and fruitful!

OMG, these are hilarious, Gwen! Perusing MLS, I often feel like I'm trying to interpret talk-to-text messages!
