It's time for me to pick apart another ad from our company classifieds. Please take the liberty of clicking on the picture to get a better view of this monstrosity.
This freshwater Aquarium is ready to go. It has plants, fish, a turtle, filters, water features, and lights. This 70 gallon tank and stand will provide countless hours of entertainment and enjoyment. Would make good salt water aquarium. Tank measures: 48in long X 19.5in high X 18in wide. Stand measures: 66in long X 21in high X 18in wide. $165 and all is yours. I also have some better pictures now that it's cleaner. You don't have to take the fish or turtle if you don't want them. I have another tank. Call Kenny at xxx-xxxx for details.
This ad has been out there for months. Every time he reposts it, he adds something new. The part in italics is the newest part. I'm thinking, if you have some better/cleaner pictures, why not post them in the ad instad of using the same old skanky picture? I hope this guy isn't on our sales team.
I'm thinking about calling him and asking him how much it costs to just get the turtle. It would be a good deed to rescue the turtle from such a nasty environment. Plus I like turtles. When I was a kid, anytime I found one in the "wild", I'd paint my name on their backs with fingernail polish and set them free. I'm sure this was a dirty trick that my parents came up with because I've always been an animal lover, and I never wanted to let any of the wild animals I found loose. The conversation usually went like this:
Parents: "You have to let it go so it can be with its family."
Me: "I can be its new family."
Parents: "No. Do you want a spanking?"
Me: "No, but I do want this turtle."
Parents: "Why don't you just paint your name on its back with this fingernail polish and let him go in the back yard. Then when you see him again you'll know he's the same one."
Me: (in a defeated tone) "OK."
