Calvin’s Hub

I always find the classified ads section of Buy&Sell more amusing compared to the boring funnies/comics section of a newspaper. There’s this guy who took online classifieds into another level of comedy by corresponding to them and posting the e-mail thread onto his site, DontEvenReply.com.

The site a real time-waster but it’s a blast to read if you’re into e-mail pranks. Here’s a sample:

Original ad:
WANTED – Microwave
I am looking for a used microwave. WHITE ONLY

From Me to *********@************.org:
I have a LG microwave that I want to sell for $30. I am aware that your ad said whites only, but I am an African American. I sincerly hope that this won’t be a problem for you, and we can put race issues aside and just do business.
Thank you,
Jamal
From Amy ****** to Me:
I am so sorry that you misread my ad. I meant the microwave should be white, because it would match my kitchen.
Amy
From Me to Amy ******:
Oh, so because I am black, you think that I can’t read? It really is amazing that the world we live in is still so racist. I’m sorry, but your insults have left me feeling sick. I don’t think I can sell my microwave to a bigot.
Sincerely offended,
Jamal

Hehe, go check out the site for more of these exchanges.

Of course this is nothing new as Jerry Seinfeld and Ted L. Nancy compiled their own funny correspondences with real high-profile people into a book called “Letters from a Nut”.
