The Lighter Side of The Classifieds

Stuck for that perfect Christmas gift?

You want something in the 'ideal' category but you've looked everywhere?

Maybe, just maybe, you've been looking in all the wrong places.

Here are a couple of items from Friday's London Free Press.

For Sale: Lawn ornament - wooden bird, 15 - 19" high. New. Ideal Christmas gift. $15

Admittedly, the bird isn't ideal for everyone, especially for the guy who is selling it.

But ask yourself, is it ideal for your Uncle Louie? I bet it is!!

How about this one.

For Sale: (8) Diana antique luncheon plates. Made in Czechoslovakia. $10 for set

Again, admittedly (and this ain't my fault), the Diana plates won't be 'antique' for several more decades, but if you live long enough, they will be.

So, do you have a young (really young) niece still on your shopping list?

I say, go for it.

***

If I don't get 17 and 7/8ths inches of snow soon I'll be selling two snowpersons.


Cheap.
