Weird s&%t for sale

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh at the weird stuff people advertise for sale in the classifieds. I think there should be a new section entitled: Weird Stuff To Buy or Sell. Seriously.

Take one of the recent free publications that arrived in our mailbox this week. In the For Sale, Misc column, in addition to log loaders, an ATV sprayer and a skidoo trailer, someone is selling an 8-year old gas furnace and hot water heater. All pipes included. Wouldn't that thing be, well, old and inefficient? I understand that perhaps the previous owner wants to recoup some of his money when upgrading to a newer, more efficient model . . . but with the price of utilities these days, who's going to buy an old furnace? Unless, of course, their furnace is 18 years old. Then that would be an upgrade.

It gets better.

In the Wanted column, we have someone looking for used portable outhouses. Ewwwwww! Pre-cleaned? Doesn't say. This guy also wants some old school bus seats . . . perhaps he's going to build a better outhouse? With padded seating for those times when you're all bunged up and need to sit awhile? Or perhaps, he just has an old bus with wrecked seats and wants to install some nicer ones?

Nah, I think I like the idea of using the seats in the outhouses better! Sometimes, you just gotta laugh. I did.
