I like the one that goes:
FOR SALE: Parachute. Used once. Never opened. Small stain.

There was one in our little weekly paper last week that read:
FOR Sale: Half bored goats.
(Pretty sure they meant Borer but could be correct as written.)

Too many people buy stuff they don't want, with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like!

I saw this one once:
10 guage single shot, cheap. Fired once.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I like the ads selling Mouser rifles.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

I've seen a few ads for trucks with a wench on the front bumper. After a few miles in the back country, she's probably mean enough to pick the truck up and throw it out of the mud.

Saw one for free puppies. Mother was a black lab and daddy was a fence jumper. Looking at the pups I gambled that daddy just might also be a black lab. Wrong, wrong wrong. That black lab female got so darn big that daddy had to be a Great Dane. That dog stood about three feet at the shoulder and her head was at least 9" wide. We let her go to a ranch that wanted a few "big" dogs. She did retrieve all right but then she'd run off and eat the birds. I couldn't break her of it so off to the ranch she went.

I saw an ad for a 30-06 with scope, like new, in box, two boxes of ammunition less 8 rounds fired. The price was cheap, very cheap.
The owner lived in a high rise downtown. Hmmm. Tall, lean young man. My mind kept asking, "Why is he selling it so cheap?" As I picked up the rifle he asked, "Have you ever shot one of these?"
"Yes," I replied.
"Well," he said, "I want you to know that this one REALLY KICKS."
Hmmm. He told me he was a an indoor .22 target shooter and had bought the 06 on impluse, an impuse he obviously regretted.
I said that I'd take it but before I could fish out my money, he hesitated and said, "I just want to be sure that you realize this rifle REALLY, REALLY KICKS."
Mystery solved as to why he was getting rid of it!
