AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... Isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... After I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... But I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi!

I appreciate you sharing this, but you should edit out the "send to your friends" text, lol.

I get these e-mails all the time. I do read them, but I always delete them. I enjoy the jokes, but I hate the "if you don't pass this on to your friends, then you must feel guilty about X, Y, and/or Z because you aren't really their friend" junk that people put in there. <_<
If my friendship (or whatever) is determined by whether or not I forward an e-mail, then someone has a terrible definition of friendship and I am happy not to be considered that kind of friend. (I never forward these chain e-mails to anyone; I really do hate the attempts at making someone feel guilty for not forwarding them.)
Yes, I'm ranting...

Anyway, if I ever decide to send someone a joke, I remove all of the text that would make them feel guilty for not forwarding it to "everyone they consider to be a true friend". <_<

Sigh...

[kayden997]

Right, Anyways I switch the first joke... Wasn't that great.
I should really read these before posting... God

[X-M-O]

I like this new one a lot better, actually. =D
I've seen some funny things on Craig's List, lol. I only use it for reading things, I doubt I'd ever have any use for the site as it is meant to be used though. XD

Is just awesome. Tell me more! These are so true. XD

I was a tad disappointed with the last one. It seems too hyperbolic. In the first example, it's the extreme best scenario, and in the second, it's the extreme worst example. Now if there was an actual real life example to back it up, then the absurdity might make me laugh, but for the most part these are just misunderstandings of laws both then and now...

Yes, I am incredibly pedantic.
