“Refrigerator imploded” - Going Down With Your Real Estate Ads?

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

Sink, sank, sunk and stunk. The MLS and real estate ads this week continue to go down faster than Greece’s economy. Thanks to Bruce Walter of Lafayette, IN for some great material this week. Check out these hysterical bloopers (particularly the Freudian slips, as we saved the best for last):

Something Missing…

“Too mush to describe” (Uh, your recent brain diagnosis?)

“Turn one” (Heidi Fleiss’s explanation when asked her line of work.)

“2 dedroom house” (That explains the divorce summons…)

“Maul area for kids” (I believe that called a mosh pit…)

Something Extra

“Deck furniture i sperm” (So-o-o not something I want to sit on…)

“This is a greta house” (For those who are into Swedish Modern…)

“Refrigerator imploded” (Reason #1 not to hide explosives in your freezer.)

“Double sank” (Let me guess – your career and your partner’s?)

Something Shady

“Pat holder in kitchen” (Oh really - where's hubby, Pat?)

“New scrams” (Oops - guess who just arrived home, Pat!)

“Close to palesides” (Said Tonto when viewing The Lone Ranger in a Speedo.)

“Covered with veins” (Uh, Betty White in a bathing suit?)

“Wraparound clock” (Some architecture is timeless.)

Something For Adults Only…

“Large swimming pole” (At last – a home for aquatic strippers!)

“Dick on the link” (Said the former Mrs. Tiger Woods when asked where Tiger was hiding out.)

That’s it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell and Sell!

Donald, I'm with you! It also makes me insane when they say real-a-tor instead of Real-tor. I once heard a major company advertising about their professional real-a-tors on TV. Sooooo unprofessional!

Fernando, it's so nice to hear from you. ...And I have never caught a misspelling in any of your comments (unlike my own). I type like a marionette on crack!

Gwen,  . . . . . . Nixon a putter?  Oh, my NO!  You have the wrong stick!  He actually was the KING of foreplay among golfing Chief Exectuives.  When his golf game was off because of his slice he would have to shout out FORE because of his poor PLAY!

Gwen, I think you must be a comedy writer.  These are very clever, creativeness and funny.
