Subject: Things you Really Need

I saw a poster on the bulletin board in the terminal room on the main floor
of the MSEE building, and just had to copy off the items to share with you.
Maybe the "Rube Goldberg" crowd should pick up some parts.  This is the
entire list, copied verbatim.  Really.

    250 Topps baseball cards				    various prices
    Commemorative Elvis "Jailhouse Rock" ceramic plate		$ 19
    Complete Hustler collection (including the "scratch and
	sniff" edition)						  30 obo
    Genuine Craftsman bolt stretcher				  12.50
    Dorm fridge (works, but has no door)			  22
    Five dozen hot pink Top-Flight golf balls			   5/dozen
    Assorted high heel shoes					   2/pair
    Antique Steam-Powered Lawnmower with coal bin		 475 firm
    Two pair lizard skin socks					   7.50/pair or
								  14.99 both
    Five Anderson windows, crank to open.  (no glass)		  20 each
    Claymation Film Production equipment (professional quality)	1400 neg
    Antique Solar-Powered telephone answering machine (1978)	 200
    SaladSpinner lettuce drier					   5
    Men's 16-speed bicycle (Sears)				  50

		Call Keith at 743-2644 or 494-1771

This must be an odd fellow.  I mean, maybe he has stretched all his bolts
already, his lack of an award at Cannes has dimmed his interest in Claymation,
the EPA's after him for using bitumenous coal in his lawn mower, and besides,
you can only wear one pair of lizard-skin socks or high-heeled shoes at a
time, but selling the SaladSpinner??  Has he lost his mind???

ps:  You know, if it hasn't lost inner liner integrity, a door-less dorm
     fridge could be rotated onto its back to make a nice self-cooling
     electric punch bowl....
