Strange Items found in the "free" section of Craigslist. Who knows why these people are trying to give this stuff away but it makes me laugh...

(1) 3 OLD monitors (Wilmette)


Here’s what the ad said:  “Not only are they free, there is a possibility that they may work! I believe they were used first during our country’s Civil War.”

Here’s what El Guapo says: "Not only are you stupid, there is a possibility that you might have brain damage.  I believe you may have suffered irreparable head trauma during our country’s Civil War on Idiots.

(2) 8 various mugs (Rolling Meadows)

Eight of them you say?

Awesome!! Guess what Mom’s getting for Hanukkah this year.

Instead of a mug, surprise your mom with your very own mug shot.

(4) Free rabbit cage and supplies NICE (sycamore, il)

The funny part of this craigslist post was that it was advertising a rabbit cage, but when you clicked on the ad it opened up to say “Nice elevated rabbit cage. ”text-decoration: underline;“>comes with 2 nice rabbits.”

This is like saying “Free Cadillac” but failing to mention that the trunk comes with 2 “nice dead hookers in it”.

Tricky advertising, amigo…if they are, indeed, “nice” rabbits why are you trying to give them away? El Guapo suspects they are evil, killer rabbits and suggests that everyone avoid buying rabbit cages from this guy.
