Me? I'd have left off the wife part...you were doing great right until then, very funny.

BTW, I sublet my apartment in DC on CL last week. Worked like a champ, 20 emails in two hours, one renter in three

Then my wife decided that she wanted me to keep it...I haven't had buns in a week

I flagged it for a Best Of Craigslist. Who knows, maybe with enough votes you can go down in the archives.

It almost makes me want to trade you my motorcycle for it - just for the stories.

If you were closer, I would be trying to get my 750 Ninja back together to trade you. I would love an old super beetle!!!

Agreed on the wife part - pull that or rewrite it

Also a typo, "you paid *too* much for the car"

I was having lunch with a friend a few years ago. Whats up, I said.

Well, my girlfriend was looking strange the other day, so I asked her what she was thinking. She said I was thinking about stabbing you in the heart with an icepick.

Get rid of the car, and get an ad that will sell it, for a price that will sell. Funny though.

hmmmm....why should I pull the part about my wife? It's a joke. I showed her the ad, and she had a good laugh.

I just didn't find it as funny/witty as the rest. Maybe too close to reality ;-)
