"Send via male" - The Friday Blooper Scooper is back!

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

Goofy looking guy with package

Once again it’s TGIF, and the results of this week’s MLS Blooper Scooper are in, friends. I can’t tell you how tempting it is to start naming names…but then I would run the risk of showing up on my own list! Yes, we all make mistakes, and auto-fill is killing us…but c’mon – couldn’t some of these have been avoided?

Hard to Swallow?

“Septic tang” (An orange-flavored drink preferred by suicidal Astronauts.)

“Call listing magnet” (You do appear to be bi-polarized…)

“This is a probing sale” (Obviously the former home of a deceased proctologist.)

“Nice rehab for you” (Back off, Dr. Drew, that stuff on my nose is White-out.)

“BBQ and sap on dec” (Need I point out that the sap is at the keyboard?)

Beware of the Aftertaste

“Needs TLV” ( Ten Little Valiums?)

“New inshulation in attic” (That’s the bottom of the bar stool you’re staring up at, shweetie.)

“Send via male” (If he’s cute, I’ll dress up in my French maid’s costume.)

“Drought insistent landscape” (Let me guess – A twelve-step pathway and trees that are on the wagon?)

“REOs and shirt sales” (Isn’t it bad enough to lose your shirt without seeing it on someone else’s back?)

Not Exactly an Antidote…

“Home has foundation tissues” (Offered by Mucous Lucas Realty.)

“Good hose on nice street” (Did anyone find the garter belt?)

“Waste on Sunset” (That’s the body count from Whiskey-A-Go-Go.)

BLOOPER OF THE WEEK

“Hous shits on two lots” (But does it s_it in the woods?)

Hi Gwen--this has to be my favorite in many weeks, “Hous shits on two lots”.  Oh, my where do these agents come from?

So, is that like the joke about where an 800 pound house goes in the woods?  That must be a huge mess.

You have a French maid costume?

Gwen,

TGIF...you said it!  I hope you never run out of material!!  Your after comments are better than the bloopers!

I always love reading these little tidbits of spelling errors.  Every time I comment here, I'm always very careful not to make any mistakes :)  Keep 'em coming!

Gwen, I would make a wisecrack, but as soon as I do one of mine will show up here.  There are too many good ones on this list to pick a favorite.  Does that mean we're getting even more stupid?  Or, should I say "more stupider?"  Keep'em coming!!  The coffee that shoots out of my nose is a nice Saturday morning irrigation routine.

Great job Gwen, I hope it takes a lot of reading to find this many mistakes in a weeks time. Otherwise your MLS has some seriously challenged typists.

Evelyn, sadly enough, I get contributions from all over the country. It seems that carelessness has no region and stupidity has no limits!

Bryan, at least you are checking. I get lots of misspelled and grammatically incorrect comments about the bloopers, but I tend to look past those. After all, I'm my own biggest blooper perp.

                                       . . . . . . .  Septic Tang???

Gwen, the Tang sounds pretty good as NASA is about to utilize a filtration system to recycle space urine, and sweat since it costs about $40,000 per gallon to transport water into space.

I'll take my Tang with earth water, thank you!

Say, I wonder if bars will catch on to this technology?  Lots of good spirits being flushed into the sewer in the bar restrooms!  Think of the how the price of your martinis could be reduced, Gwen!  BOTTOMS UP!!!  ^_~

Oh my...and I thought Evian was expensive! Hmmm...recycled space urine...I wonder if that ages like a fine wine.

“REOs and shirt sales" A career move to the textile industry is highly recommended.

Patty, perhaps a move to retirement is even more warranted!
