Come n' get it!

If you find yourself a bit down in the dumps and in need of a few laughs, I highly recommend checking out the "Free" section of Craigs List.

Yes, you can buy a television, boat, chest of drawers and a thousand other things but why not get it FREE??? It amazes me some of the things that are being given away. Here's an example:

Breadbox
Broken Paddle Boat
Kids (not really kids, that was a hook to get you to click on the link)
Dora the Explorer foldable toilet seat (they claim not used but no box....yeah right)
Free 3ft diameter coffee table...the description: "It was the subject of an abortive attempt at refinishing, consisting of sanding 3 legs and deciding that refinishing was not for me. The difference is not very noticeable." (FYI-3 legs white, the other dark...so not noticible, unless you're a MIDGET!)
Muffler for 1997 Chevy Cavalier (I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE OF THOSE!!!!)
Hemp shoes (?!!?)
Skirts/pants hangers (those are hard to find, huh?)
Pummel horse for gymnastic enthuiast (requiring 2 people, a dolly and a truck)

and my personal favorite:

Free cervical collar (still in plastic and box)

with this brilliant addendum to the description:

"For you fifth grade mentality types out there( u know who u are) a cervical collar is also known as a neck brace and has nothing to do with an actual cervix. Also, there is no such thing as a " clavical " anything but possibly a clavicle. Thanks for the help though... Dink. "

So take a few moments to peruse the free stuff, you might find something you need or you might just get a much needed laugh...
