Well it's Blooper Day again folks, and some of these comments and advertising blunders were dead on arrival. Maybe these descriptions won't help sell listings, but at least they may provide a chuckle or two. Please enjoy:

 

Call A Doctor

 

“Fatal inspection completed.” (May you rest in peace.)


 “Balcony is unsaaf” (Well that must have been one helluva drop.)


 “Nothing but the sound of wind chimps” (And all this time I've been waiting for pigs to fly...)


 “Just give us a shot” (Methinks you’ve already had one too many.)


 “Just bring your tootbrush” (Is brushing one's toot now a thing?)

 

Call an Optometrist


 “The wall colors meld in harmony” (That’s called fungus, my friend.)


 “Sand, surf, Beached Boys” (Yeesh! Help me Rhonda!)


 “Beautiful greenhose” (Uh, I think maybe your bladder is  leaking.)


 “Bright celery window” (For the neighborhood STALKer?)


 “Bedroom can be used as neursery” (With any luck, it can double as a school house.)

 

Call A Proctologist


 “No skid top” (I hope there are no skids in your bottoms either.)


 “Near Hole Foods” (Is that a compost pile?)


 “Gas turned on but not lit” (That explains the dead canary.)


 “New cookies kitchen” (Got milk?)


 “No appointments. We can show if you call for time. No open houses. Come on Sunday 2-5.  Email first.” (Got cocaine???)

 

Call Me 


“No erections over 6 feet” (In your dreams, pal.)

 

 

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

Endre Barath, I am so glad you enjoyed these. I have already received 3 hilarious  bloopers today from other parts of the U.S., which I will include in next week's blog.  It's a bittersweet comfort to know that mindless spelling bozos such as these culprits don't just reside here in L.A.!

I had a couple of fatal inspections in just the last week!  And in one house the wall colors did meld in harmony.  I don't know what people are thinking trying to sell houses with walls that look like a van Gogh impression of a muddy field and green sky.

Jay Markanich, we were economically challenged when I was a kid, so my dad would bring home leftover paint from his second job as a painter. The colors were atrocious, and they always ended up on our bedroom walls. Our house was psychedelic...BEFORE that was cool. My friend once told me my house was like a lava lamp. I don't think the assault on the senses was good for our mental health...let alone resale value.

Hello Gwen....
If you wouldn't spend so much time with Sam Lerner, you would be able to entertain us much more frequently with your brilliant commenteries.

There is only one you, and so many of us enjoying your wit.

RJ Curtis, thank you for the lovely compliment. I’m spending less time with Sam Lerner these days. I put him on the shelf.   (Now that Inside Sam Lerner has been published, my great challenge is to write a new novel. I have lots of ideas but no motivation!)

Hi Gwen:

As always a bunch of chuckles for us, and a bit of embarrassment for those who bloopered. Hope their clients were understanding.

Jeff Dowler, I try to be gentle, because I screw up also. I once wrote, "Get into this hose for 10% down." I had a few personal offers...  ;-)

Janice Zaltman, I agree. Without laughter we would all be bonkers. Although for me, I think that ship has sailed.
