    Talking Craigslist ad: Funny

    Sorta funny.

    I place this ad about 45 minutes ago.

    Guy responds in an email:

    I get wheel weights alot and have about 150 lbs. of olympic weights right now
    So this guy thinks i'm looking to buy "wheel weights" as in the kind you put on a free weight bar (to work out).

    I guess that makes sense, since they are shaped like a little wheel.

    What he has:



    What i'm looking for:



    :jest: ...and I can assure you, this is not an April fools joke.

    Ya boy, he's smart vun, dat vun ist!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    In this poor guys defense, I have seen adapters that allow you to use weightlifting weights on the wheels of garden tractors for tractor pulls, plowing snow, etc. Maybe that was what he was thinking?

    There was a time when bodybuilding weights were lead. Of course that was when handlebar mustaches and hand cranked cars were all the rage.
