LOL....I had this one today:

------------------
Looking for an upright piano so the kids can take lessons.
------------------

We get laptops and iPods and blackberry requests all the time.  Seriously 
people, have some self-respect.  And some intelligence.  Who's gonna give 
away an iPod?  Or a friggin' PIANO for that matter?

On a side note, I got a set of encyclopedias this weekend.  That was fun, 
remembering what the world was like before the internet!  Felt like I was 
14 again!
