Really now!?

I am not sure what the Feds expected to find at a gun shop, other than weapons... May I award a Frosty to these guys for "Biggest Morons in Law Enforcement" please?

Hey, it makes no difference--unless the clerk doesn't know how to do math... *and then I'd be worried!*

Hmm... Are these folks sold as a uniform lot, or are some of the elderly in better shape than others? Also, do they come with a copy of their will and an attorney on stand-by?

I'd be tempted to call and ask if he changed his mind about selling the car--or if he's still thinking about it, and that's why he placed the ad--and yes, I am betting on the fact that this ad was placed by a guy!

Overstating the obvious--I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of federal dollars (that you and I pay in the form of taxes!) were spent to come to this all-too-obvious conclusion...

So... do you know where your crack has been? If not, here's some advice: "Don't do crack!"

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Really it is!

Want some proof?

Look at right--these are actual ads that came out of a variety of newspapers, and collected throughout who knows how long, in order to provide us all with some entertainment.

And what does this prove? That truth is indeed, stranger than fiction. Someone once said that "Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense." And these advertisements prove it!

Enjoy! (at the risk of being hauled off to the loony bin for laughing way too hard!)

Cheers, Lucy (who's going to go off in search of Baby Crap--like a baby seat!)

PS. My thanks to Buzz for sending these my way this AM--I almost lost my crackers with cream cheese all over this flat monitor--and that would've been some cleanup!
