The Thinks You Can Think and Things You Can See!

      You never know what you may find on Craigslist.  You just don’t!  By 9 this morning my husband was frantically searching for a couch.   Except for the fact that our couch is a complete piece of crap I couldn’t imagine WHY he would be worrying about it then.  He was a man with a mission though and soon I joined in the hunt.  It had to be nice and it had to be cheap.  Those were my only stipulations.  Not really too much to ask, right?

        The first couch I called about the lady agreed to come down 50 bucks on the price.  It looked nice enough but we soon discovered the catch.  She lived in an apartment on the second floor in a bad section of town.  My husband and I didn’t have to think too hard about that one.  Even though it appeared to be a lovely couch, we weren’t sure it would still hold its appeal after we pushed it down a couple flights of stairs.  The lady assured me it weighed a ton but her soon to be ex-husband and she had pushed the thing up the stairs when they moved in and surely it would be easier to push it back down.  Of course they were getting a divorce and she had to move to a smaller place.  A little too much information, but I took it in my stride.   I told her that we decided against it because we weren’t sure we could negotiate the stairs.  I thought it would be thoughtful to let her know we wouldn’t be coming for it despite our interest.  “Oh, you can do it!!  You will do it!!” she insisted.  She called me back twice to try to convince me, the stalker!

       The next couch I found was a sweet 50.00.  A nice brown leather job that looked pretty good in the picture.  I called the guy up and made arrangements to come check it out.  We got directions, loaded our kids in the truck and took off following the MapQuest directions and listening to that annoying woman on the GPS telling us which way to go.  We found his house with no problem.  We all fell out of the truck like a band of clowns from a little clown car and went to meet the man in front of his garage.  He went inside and threw the door open as we waited.  The kids and I made a beeline for the couch and plopped our happy butts right down.  It was nice, comfortable even.  What gave us pause and made all three of eyes widen and our mouths drop in astonishment was the huge full body woman nude in a picture in front of us.  You could not help but look at it!  It was a focal point.  I glanced at my kids, and they glanced at me and all three of us sucked in a breath and forced our jaws up from the floor.

        From where my husband was standing, he couldn’t see the nude in all her glory.  All he could see was the expression on our faces.  The guy took our money and as we loaded the couch into the truck he went back to gaze in wonder at his naked lady pictures.  He apologized for all the pussy cat tracks all over it.  Say what???  It freaked the kids and me out good and proper.  I mean hells bells can you imagine what the pervert had been doing on that couch looking at those pictures!  Sick, I tell you!! 
Sick!!  He knew we were coming.  Don’t you think he could have turned his girly pictures to the wall or covered them?  Oh hell no, I think he actually got his jollies watching our reaction!!

        

    


       We rushed right home and filled a bucket with hot soapy water and washed that couch right down.  Then I sprayed it with disinfectant washing it down again careful to free it of all its cooties and germs.  Oh the sights I have seen and the thinks I can think when I am permitted to try!!  You just never know what you will find on Craigslist or who you might meet.  It was a sweet deal but I could have done without the eye full and that is all I have to say for the 6th day of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge and NaBloPoMo!
