4000 listings by 8am this morning.
It's kinda sad really, yet flippin' hilarious.

and 90% of them won't be unwanted gifts

Exactly.
RE: Unwanted Gifts on TM - crafters_corner - 26-12-2021
It would be great, if they were all listed at $1Res. That at least would make it more fun, and getting a price that we would be happy to pay. Otherwise it looks greedy, because everything loses it's value, once something effectively becomes second hand.

"Among the ÔÇ£presentsÔÇØ was a washing line cord, which the disgruntled recipient revealed had been gifted to her by her husband.
ÔÇ£My husband thinks heÔÇÖs hilarious and got me a washing line cord for my Xmas present, this is the second time he has done so as he thinks itÔÇÖs so funny,ÔÇØ she explained in the listing."
The second time? And she still hasn't thought of another purpose for that washing line cord...

lilith, why oh why should she have to find another purpose for the bloody thing???
Oh I know, wrap it around his neck and threaten him with bodily harm, and a stop to conjugal rights. That's what I'd do.

For the same purpose that one would own a pair of handcuffs.

It had a rough idle. I adjusted and cleaned the carburetor. Called the lady to come pick it up, and when she got there she asked what was going on. I said "shit in the carb". She said "how often do I need to do that?"

Did you hear about the blonde who tried to blow up her husband's car?
She burnt her lips on the exhaust pipe.

Bung potato in exhaust pipe.

A perspective on Blonde Jokes. I agree. It's disquieting to run across this genre in 2021, especially when promoted by a female.

Hey, I'm a blonde, so I'm laughing at myself.
I worked in the social services field, and have worked alot with women, and I respect all women. I have heard women tell dirty jokes. Is that wrong too?

Blondes have come a long way since the early days. They seem to be a lot brainier and not so dizzy these days
