Classifieds

Where I work, they have an online Classifieds page.  Basically it is a web page where employees can list things they want to buy/sell or get information/opinions on items, kind of like an online garage sale.  You can set up alerts, where you are notified via email when new items are posted – a nice little perk.  Everything gets listed and usually for a decent price.  In the past I have managed picked up a lot of toys, clothes, furniture etc. for reasonable prices with the added bonus of not having to get up at the crack of dawn and driving aimlessly around hitting garage sales. 

Today I received an email letting me know a new item had been posted.  I should mention that due to the way my email previews are setup, I do not get the full title of the item being listed.  In this case it read “Carry Lite – Pretty Boy Junior J…”   I would also like to point out that a lot of times information is not “clear” as to what is being listed.  Usually an image or flyer is attached to help potential buyers understand what is being sold.

Anyway, as I said, I received the notification.  For some unknown reason, it popped in my head that this was some kind of toy.  I admit, I didn’t read the description very carefully – more like skimmed it – before I clicked on the link to view the attached jpeg…..it was totally not what I expected.

Now, during this time I was on a group chat…we all working on the same issue and occasionally we would ask each other questions etc.  What follows is the group conversation:

Me:  wth is that on the classifieds????
P: it would appear to be a turkey
Me: it has a spare head
J: you should get that and just set it up somewhere randomly in your house when everyone's asleep
P: preferably on someone’s nite stand
Me: not for $50
P: worth it
Me:  lol - explain why they would have a head for hunting and one for setups - wouldn't one work or are they afraid that someone would shoot the hunting head?

Here is a copy of the ad…along with the attached image I saw…try not to judge me too harshly.
