JenB alerts us to:
Pipe Wrench and Squirrel Trap – $15
Pipe Wrench, 24 inch, great condition, $25.00. Squirrel Trap, $15.00. Email if interested.
Now, to be honest, this ad really does not suck. It is spelled correctly, to the point, and clearly indicates the products the person has for sale.
But oh, the possibilities inherent in the juxtaposition…
Live action whack-a-mole set, $40.
Win!
(and ewwwww….)
Now what do I use to get out pesky squirrel bloodstains?
Sounds like equipment for some sort of variant of Gaufqwi And now I’m itching for a game… hopefully I can find a licensed vet who’s free on a Sunday afternoon.
I have been waiting my entire life to experience the phrase “primary instrument of gerbil motivation.”
I’m imagining some Wile E. Coyote-type scenario.
although, in the title, it makes it sound like the Pipe wrench Squirrel trap boxset amount to $15 total. However, in the actual ad, it sounds like the pipe wrench is $25 and the squirrel trap is $15.
All this ad needs is a listing for a steel reinforced codpiece and then you would have the complete set of ‘ways to protect your nuts’…..(comedy drumbeat)
“Next up on ‘Ow, my Balls!’…”
Squee, Idiocracy reference!
He needs to hook up with the lady selling the baby gate/kitchen knife set! They would get along swimmingly.
The pipe wrench could also be used to measure the cranial circumference of the trapped squirrel, to ensure that it wasn’t undersized.
I bet these could be used to fend off the red-tailed hawk(s).
Actually, ‘Pipe wrench and Squirrel trap’ would probably make for a hilarious series of oddball fun on the cartoon network…..I’d watch it……whilst eating a sammich.
I’d watch that.
*joins you on sofa*
Budge up, I brought sammiches.
Great call – you can come by any time *munch munch*………so……….you got any ketchup? *munch munch* hahaha squirrel trap just blew up pipe wrench by using a pipe bomb – love the irony.
I’m reminded of a show I saw on the Discovery Channel a while back about how smart squirrels are. They set up obstacle courses for squirrels to get around to steal bird seed, and the little bastards got it every time.
Maybe the point of this is to trap a squirrel and put him to work on your plumbing.
Does the wrench also include a knife?
