Someone has too much time on his hands???

 One of my co-workers found this on Craigslist.  I think someone has too much time on his hands.


I have a stack of moving boxes I am willing to give to the needy. They are free, they are brown. They used to have my stuff in them. Some are small, good for books. Others are large, good for hiding when your mother-in-law knocks on the door of your new place. The pile includes two wardrobe boxes - before I had these two boxes, I didn't really feel like I had a wardrobe; I just felt like I had clothes - you too will feel special if you come take these. These boxes come from a smoke and pet free home - we had a pet before we moved, but now we can't find him. I am just heartbroken about it. I would feel somewhat better if I had more room in my garage, so you will really be helping me if you come take these boxes. All of these boxes have experience; I got them off Craigslist from a lady who moved here from Ohio. It's kind of exciting using Craigslist boxes; after you move, you get to open the box and discover whether the green marker that says "Christmas Snow Globes - Bathroom" is correct or whether the red marker that says "Office Books" is correct. I am a bit of an optimist - I was exhausted when we finished moving, but I saw the "Christmas Snow Globes - Bathroom" box on my way to bed that night and could hardly sleep. The next morning, I rushed down to the garage to see if I somehow scored an entire box of Christmas Snow Globes that I could use to decorate the throne room. Unfortunately, I guess I will just have to start collecting my own bathroom Christmas snow globes because the box just contained office books. An added bonus is that you get to write stuff on the sides of the boxes after you unpack and before you put the boxes back up on Craigslist - seriously, you should have seen how hard I was laughing when I wrote "Grandpa's tonsils" on the side of one these boxes and envisioned your wife reading that when she is packing up your place. Nearly all of these boxes have flaps and are corrugated. You may want to hold onto the boxes; you may need a place to live in a few months if you bit off more than you can chew when you bought your new home. I am sorry if I misled anyone by putting the words Magic and Goats in my posting title in a shameless attempt to have more people see this posting for free boxes. If you agree to come get the boxes and I find a magic goat in my new place before you get here, you can have the magic goat. Please don't call tonight. To entertain my neighbors at a barbecue once, I hypnotized one of my boys and told him that every time he heard a cell phone ring, he would cluck like a chicken and try to run people over. It was a huge hit at the barbecue, but I couldn't bring him back out of the hypnosis and if someone calls my house this late at night, it is very disruptive for the boy that was hypnotized and his little brother who ends up getting a bit trampled in his sleep. Tomorrow morning, call 375-3550. Ask for Elvis. That number is my wife's cell phone. Her name isn't Elvis, but I believe that every transaction on Craigslist is just a bit sweeter when the King plays a small role. Did I mention the boxes are free and have flaps?
