YSaC, Vol. 1328: Math is Hard

2012 August 29

A few more from the “Bad Math” department:

Televisions, Low Price! – $50 (Pick up)


Don’t have enough for those fancy HD Flat screen Tvs?

Just moving out on your own or looking to add a tv to your room?

Look no further – Great Deals.

27 Inch JCV Flat screen Tv – 30 bucks

26 Inch Sharp Bubble Tv – 15 bucks

Both for 50!

Cant get no better then that. Please text for more info

Actually, Sparky, I suspect it CAN get better than that. Just a guess. For example, it would be better if I weren’t paying you $5 extra for the privilege of taking both television.

Still, I might need a TV with as flat a screen as possible if I move into this place:

For Viewing Contact Manny @ ###-###-#### Thank You And Have A Wonderful Day…

Fun fact – the president of the Federated States of Micronesia is named “Manny.” I’m not saying that’s where this is from, but that is a country small enough that the chief executive might be showing apartments with the approximate square footage of a microwave oven.

Once you’ve moved into your new place, how about a pet?

free kittens


totaly free have i tink 8 or 7 left

They are squirmy, those kittens. Hard to count. Tell you what – I’ll take three and a half.

Thanks, Rick, Johanna, and Ted! And don’t forget – “Cat Math” mousepads are still available!

    Thirty buck tv?
    Just ignore where the screws that used to afix it to the Days Inn were ripped out . . .

    Y’know, my respect for a real-estate person is directly proportional to their demonstrated understanding of the differences between the contraction “you’re” and the possessive “your.” It’s the sort of subtle distinction necessary when advertising to let $1800 (or $1805) breach condos with two bedrooms but only a 2 foot square hole in the ground and a bath room. For nearly two thousand, the bathing facilities ought to be more than a bucket and a shovel.

    Wait, kittens?
    Perhaps it’s a Kitty-condo! 1800 salmon treats and a 2ft² litter box–woohoo!

      I know!!!!!! How hard is it to know when to use “your” and “you’re”?! Are you talking about someone else’s possession? Then use “your”. Are you talking about something a person is or is doing? Then use “you’re”. Not. Hard. Oh and hearing someone say “I seen” makes my teeth itch!

        I don’t mean to be a jerk, or “that guy,” but on the site that makes fun of grammatical errors, I feel the need the point out that it’s “you’re.”

        I also feel the need the speak more intelligently than I really am. I apologize.

        EDIT: I now notice the italicization. I am not really all that smart. Again, I apologize.

    But are the TV’s Gourgeous? Otherwise the non-HD versions are easy to find on the “free” section of craigslist, since few people want them and it costs money to dispose of them as hazwaste.

          Okay, it IS a joke. Oh sweet jeebus, I’m still crying.

          In the last 6 weeks, I’ve had only 2 days off. I don’t mean 2 days off during the week, 2 days off period. Been working 6 and 7 day weeks. I find I don’t have much of a sense of humor at home, either. And this morning I forgot that we had Mini Monkey this week and I had to leave the house at 6:00 instead of 6:30 to get her to school on time. Been a bad morning.

          I should have known that was a joke. Wow. I’m tired.

          I’m channeling Capn.

          Back in the day, (and probably now, as well) horses would get diseases in their mouth. Obviously, no one wants a diseased horse, so people would look in their mouths to check their gums. But, if it’s a gift from a friend, or random stranger, a gift horse as it were, then it would be considered rude to look in it’s mouth, as that implies you don’t trust the person giving the gift.

      I burned that onto a CD for Mini Monkey. I finally had to tell her I lost it. She wanted to hear it again and again and again and again in the car, while singing along at the top of her lungs. She was making me have evil thoughts.

          Me: Who makes this stuff up?

          Me: Sweet jeebus.

          BG: (sighs) Yeah, try watching it over and over, day in and day out. My daughter just loves it.

          Me: (transfixed) That DJ Lance looks positively weird…no, really..he’s scary and daughter is okay with this?

          BG: (shrugs) I guess..she seems to love it.

          Thank the gods all the grandchildren (save the youngest who is 6 months old and I will smash the television of the first of her older cousins who shows it to her) have outgrown it.
