Special offer

"Cure elegance"...But you can't cure stupid! (Bloopermania)

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

I'm with stupid sign

I had a lot of laughs this week, friends – and most were unintentional. Perhaps the summer sun is causing lethargy. That’s the only excuse I could come up with to explain some of these moronic meanderings. Thanks to Allyson Hoffman for her great contributions from Chicago. 

Bumps and Dumps

“Nice wart bar” (Frog Inspection highly recommended)

“Cards for dump included” (Wouldn’t toilet tissue be less irritating?)

“No lame offers accepted” (...Straight from the Lame Agent Rule Book…)

“Designd with Fang shui” (From the Caravan Guide For Listings That Bite)

“Pool to dye for!” (Are you selling a house or Loreal?)

Who Could Refuse These?

“Perfect for art correction” (Offered by Dominatrix Dorothy)

“Wonderful ocean freezes” (Attention swimmers: I bet that's hard your manhood...)

“Must sell before labor” (This gives new meaning to “contractual obligations.”)

“Nice bean ceilings” (Are you also serving Chianti, Mr. Lecter?)

“Depressed wood floors” (If you had feet in your face every time you were in a horizontal position, you'd be bummed, too.)

Expiration Proclamation

“High-tech TB equip inc”  (Oh yay - I can purchase my very own sanitarium.)

“Mosaic of glob in foyer” (That's what the seller expelled from his throat after seeing your spelling abilities.)

“House on end of peninisulim” (That sounds terminal - my condolences.)

“This home offers cure elegance” (Too bad there's no cure for stupidity.)

“Views of Point Doom” (Point Dume is in Malibu, pal – “Point Doom” is that point on top of your skull where your brain should be.)

That’s it for this week, folks.  Remember, I’m always lurking with the Blooper Scooper!

Some of these were challenging this week to figure out what they were really trying to say!

Great funnies as always.  I know we all make a mistake every so often but when it's out there for the public to see, a quick review is a good idea.

Wart bar?  Did I hear someone say wart bar?

Does anyone have directions?

 

Very kindly,

I would like to see what a peninisulim is.  The mind absolutely boggles.

Jane, isn't a peninisulim that little thing that hangs down in the back of your throat? :)

Gwen~ I do believe my favorite is the "lame offer".

Donna, I loved that one, too. I was wondering how such a lame agent would recognize a lame offer...even if it included a castration clause!

Another list of real estate classics.  It is any wonder why or professional is held in such low esteem?

I love it! All good, but you got me with "...contractual obligations"!

Peninis.... WHAT?!?!?! (Don't mix with cold water!)

Now that I know you'e doing this every week. I'll pop back for more laughs... RSS??

I'd say it might be tough coming up with material for a weekly bloopers post, but then, stupidity seems to multiply like rabbits... And you've certainly captured the cunning linguists....

On that note...

Cheers!
