Save a marriage, buy a carribou

[William]

Yes, I come across some weird stuff, but this is a real ad from the local Craigs list;

There is a marriage that is being strained right now by a hairy caribou that was illegally hung over a fireplace. You see, this is not my house, nor my caribou...it belongs to some dear friends of mine. The story goes a little something like this:  Husband goes on exotic caribou hunting trip with male friends. Fun was had...there was hunting, card games, bears knocking on the cabin, drinking and yes ladies and gents, even some skinny dipping in the cold Canadian wilderness. There was even a hot guide name Frenchy involved, but we won't go there.  Husband bags a nice, big caribou. Husband is happy. Husband sends said caribou off to Canadian taxidermist for mounting. Husband is somewhat sad that the caribou won't be ready for many months, so husband returns home with just caribou meat, pictures and memories.  Fast forward to mother's day. Husband said, "Wife, come here, I have a surprise for you." Wife turns around and sees said caribou hanging over mantle at the same time she hears "Happy Mother's Day!" Panic sets in for wife not only because of the hairy beast now dominating her living room, but also out of fear that her husband has obviously taken on a drug habit. Wife tells husband, "You will take that down, NOW." Husband, sad that his loving gift was not well received, sheepishly says, "I can't...I had to drill a bolt into the limestone to hang it." As you can imagine, this does not do much for Wife's blood pressure.   So here is where I come in. I want to save this marriage. I put a price tag of $5,000 on the hairy beast only because I think that is what it will take for Husband to give up the critter. What do you get for $5,000? Well, outside of warming the cockles of your heart knowing you saved a marriage, you will also gain a conversation piece. Impress your friends with false big game hunting stories. I will even photoshop your picture into the actual hunting photos. Heck, a full price offer might even garner you Frenchy's phone number. And the dandy bonus of this transaction? You can put a Santa hat on it for Christmas. Nothing says Texmas like a dead animal on your wall with a Santa hat (we will try and gloss over the fact that the dead animal on your wall looks like it could pull Santa's sleigh).
There you have it, good samaritans. If you have $5,000 laying around, then please do the right thing. Do it for love. Do it for marriage. Just...do it. (Side note, does anyone know a good mason repairman?)

I wish I could make stuff like this up but I'm not that creative.

  That was good william, I have one word of advise for him, next time hunt the wife, mount the head ,get caribou as pet that doesn't talk, enjoy with cold beer.
