People really do ask for some dumb stuff. Wanted: boat
I'm just sayin... a boat? Me too. I think I'll ask for a free cruise to Acapulco while I'm at it.

People get mad at me when they ask for silly things like an orange peeler (those pencil looking things), and I send them to eBay where they can buy a pack of 10 for 38 cents. I got a similar response: "I can't afford THAT, that why I am asking for one for free!". 38 cents? please! And shipping was less than a buck, too.
