BUY ME AS YOUR WIFE FOR 1/4 MILLION POUNDS

A pretty 24 year old blonde is auctioning herself off as a wife on the internet.

[usconservative]

You guys may thin that you sound funny, but all you sound like , are a bunch of 7th graders, trying to be " men " ; or Al Bundy. : - )

Yeah, and the problem with that is .....?

Al Bundy, 2008!!!

" What if Bin Laden starts bidding?"
**"He'd better hurry!"**

ROFL!!!

[HighWheeler]

A pretty 24 year old blonde ...

That's all the detail I need ...

---------------------------------

Careful Jim, it could be a trap. Hillary! used that exact term to describe herself 20 years ago when she was 32.

Of course I was talking about the garbage! What did you think I meant..

[codebreaker]

mmm.. Tanned

[Thumper1960]

Actually, I was inferring the easiness of British womanhood. Of course, I've only that 'knowledge' from fellow studly American males who have visited the British Isles.

:-} Tongue firmly in cheek.

[codebreaker]

How does she make 60,000 dollars a year just from website advertising on 'Ally Mcbeal'?

Sounds fishy to me

[codebreaker]

I thought this issue was under your jurisdiction since she is going to try and sell herself on other websites for 6 million dollars U.S. as a wife..

[codebreaker]

You know why the blond was staring at the orange juice container, of course..because it said 'concentrate!'

[philman_36]

Sounds like the modern day equivalent of the slave auction with the "pretty 24 Yr. old Blonde" as the slave and auctioneer. Who gets "the property papers"? The "purchaser" or the "auctioneer"?
That will be one sticky "contract".
I wonder if that "pretty twenty-something" has really "thought this through". Probably not.
And by viewing the thread we see who wishes to be the "slave-owners".
They probably haven't "thought this through" either.

The whole distastefulness of this episode reminds me of what George Bernard Shaw once said to a young lady.

GBS: "Would you sleep with that man for a million pounds?"

Woman: "Yes, of course."

GBS: "Well, would you sleep with me for a pound?"

Woman: "No, of course not! What do you think I am?"

GBS: "We've established what you are; we're merely negotiating the price."

I don't particularly care what she does.

Who no doubt would say the same story even if they had "struck out". ;)

Although she retains the right to write the pre-nup which could have anything in it...

[Defender2]

Is this offer be an after Christmas sale or should we wait for more price slashes?.....hehehe.......

[Sabertooth]

"No test drives"

Not necessary, except for "test-drivers."

But showroom catalogs are not test drives.

"No moneyback guarantee?"

Oooo... that's the "buyer beware" clause.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Actually it said 60,000 pounds, not dollars, and didn't say if that was the gross or the net. I didn't check on the content of the other 2 sites, the fact that she was an Alley McAnorexic fan was enough for me...;-)

Remember too, the taxes over there are a killer in the higher brackets. Socialism is both expensive and inefficient.

[Huck]

Did someone say quarter pounder? That reminds me. I'm hungry. Time to get food.
