Friday laughs - The Blooper Blog

'Making your career extinct with bloopers? Welcome back to the Blooper Blog, friends! I'm a firm believer that we should laugh at ourselves now...because it's harder to laugh once they strap you into a strait jacket. These MLS goofs underscore the fact that real estate can sometimes drive agents bonkers. Enjoy:

DUH!

"Lot with curve appeal"  (Near the corner of Melon Lane and Tuchus Terrace...)

“New Constriction needs finishes” (Old intestine needs fiber.)

“Hurry – this will be sod soon.” (So will my grandma, but it’s rude to rush people. )

“Coffened ceilings” (I see dead people.)

“Enjoy the sunrise with your mourning coffee” (Let me guess - the house with coffened ceilings?)

HUH?

“Many privates schools nearby” (Imagine that class photo!)

“Very extinctive neighborhood” (Asses to ashes, dumb as dust.)

“Big addition in back” (This must be the Kim Kardashian of houses…)

“New panthouse” (I believe that's called a "brothel.")

"House has new kook!" (And you're it.)

BAH!

“Leave keys in malebox” (Ccan I  get a box of males, please?)

“House has good draimage” (Agent has brain draimage…)

"No showings past sun” (Thank you, Luke Skywalker.)

“Need poof of funds" (My funds went poof at tax time.)

"Lushes view" (I think we can all agree on who the lush is.)

                                                                         

WHA?  (DRUM ROLL PLEASE...)

"Fred tips" (Have you tried tying Fred  to his bar stool?)

“Just past fire hose” (Man, that had to hurt!)

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

Hey Gwen:

As always your blooper posts are filled with chuckles, and a bit of head-shaking!

Jeff Dowler, thank you for your comment. What is really interesting is that some of these bloopers are from the same agents who have tripped up in the past, whic reflects very badly on their degree of professionalism.

John Henry, sometimes I cannot believe the gaffes I read in the paper or in well-established magazines. And forget grammar - that's a lost cause!

When I looked up to the heavens this morning and asked for answers and inspiration, God led me to Gwen Banta. The strongest drug on earth isn't prescribed, it's laughter, bloopers, and pure stupidity!
