My boss just put the company car up for sale on craigslist. It's a '91 Honda that's in OK shape except it has no brakes. He listed it for $200, and minutes after he made the post, his phone just started ringing off the hook. So annoying. He's been on the phone constantly, with other lines ringing too....

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ARGH! STOP CALLING! STOP CALLING! THERE'S ONLY ONE CAR, NOT 20!
Hey, tommy, I hear your boss has a car for sale.
The parts are worth more than $200. There's gotta be millions of Hondas from that era still in circulation.
Do you think I could buy the car and have it shipped to me?

Heh.
My boss took his # off the ad. Which is good, as calls were starting to come to my phone....
It's got no brakes. Maybe Tom could just give it a good push in your direction.
Man I might be calling if I saw that deal locally.
A company car with no brakes sounds like harsh way to reduce headcount.
Why would you put your work number on a craigslist ad? That was the crucial mistake. Well, that, and not putting "best offer," apparently.
So, I'm sitting in my car outside of the yoga studio. And this woman in Toyota Carolla goes to get out of her parking spot and reverses into me and bumps my car (FWIW, CA license plate 3VOK629). She looks at me (balefully) in the her side mirror, then drives away. Seriously?!
