crazy gumtree ad

Posted on 07/01/201028/11/2013

some people are just throw-a-dishcloth-over-my-head-and-call-me-patsy crazy.
certifiably mad. but in a good way. in a way that makes them do things that make other people smile and wonder, now what would make you go to all the trouble to do a thing like that?

somehow i stumbled upon this gumtree ad. this guy is selling a handshake. s’true’s bob.


see, here it is close up, just in case you left your specs in your other pants:

i like it. some days one does wake up and think to oneself, fucking hell, you know what, i could really do with a nice firm handshake today.

unless i’m missing something and handshake is code and it actually stands for something else? gross! sorry! i’m sick! it’s a disease! please forgive me.
