Craigslist fun

I had a little fun on Craigslist this morning:

Wanted: Desalination Plant – $1
Reply to: sale-446914297@craigslist.org
Date: 2007-10-12, 8:41AM EDT

Willing to trade lightly-used lawn mower in good condition for large desalination plant. Must have capacity for several million gallons per hour.

Will throw in weed whacker and accessories for water pipe that can reach the coast.

Of course such a thing does not exist, as the biggest dasalination plant in the world, Dubai’s Jebel Ali plant, produces 300 million cubic meters of water per year according to Wikipedia. I toyed with changing “millions” to “thousands” but I thought it was funnier with millions.
