Speculative Real Estate
When John bought a lot on the moon on CraigsList, he knew it was somewhat speculative–his wife called him “stupid” and suggested he move there as soon as the divorce was final.
Home Improvement
Jack (pictured, blue shirt) had seen the Marble Arch in London and thought it would be just the thing to spiff up his ranch in Montana; to his surprise, it was not for sale, at any price. What’s more, none of the home improvement stores back home–Lowe’s, Home Depot–had any plans available or ideas on how to build one; they couldn’t even suggest a contractor, although he found two offered on eBay and three on Craigslist for Nigeria.
Drone On
Clarence, hearing all the hoo hah about private drones and privacy issues, thought he saw a market. So he went on Amazon and bought a GoPro and then ran a Craig’s List ad to find customers. He soon found out that Homeland Security, the FAA, DEA, CIA, the FCC, FBI and NSA were so busy downloading his streaming images that there was no band width left for his paying customers. The Alphabet guys were all insisting they were not using Clarence’s images for spying on Americans . . .
Too Sweet
Ginny’s friends kept telling her, “Bless your heart, you’re just too sweet.” Ginny’s doctor said it was a gland/hormone disorder or there weren’t enough bees and hummingbirds in the neighborhood; he suggested that maybe she should try an ad in the personals section of Craigslist . . . . .

Internet Ticket Scam
William soon realized he’d been conned; the Craig’s List ad read “Scheduling conflicts force Nigerian Diplomat to sell Lady Gaga tickets for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo at discount”. Lady Gaga wasn’t even on the bill for the rodeo this year–something about a meat conflict. . . . . David, Sf.G.
