So, here's the deal, when the hubby and I reconciled, he moved back in and we didn't have room in the car for the lawn mower, the weed whacker, and or rather large push broom. So, we left them in the car port ( where they have lived for three years) of the old house and went to go get them the next day. They have been stolen. I am going to put an ad in the local paper, and the base paper, looking for our yard tools b/c I can't afford to replace them, and my husband is in Guam.
This isn't going to be any ordinary ad. I want humour, something that will get noticed. 20 words. I was even considering a pet ad along the lines of: Lost, Single red lawn mower and friends. last seen in . . .you get my drift. Be creative, and I may use yours!!!:kiss:
 
MWF seeks lawnmower, weed whacker, broom for scandalous lawn work. Wanting to mow the lawn topless but need the lawnmower to do so.

That should get you the missing ones back, and several replacements besides ;)

Elderly Mower, whacked on weed, needs new broom... is this going in personals?


Have you heard the one about the mower, the weed whacker and the large broom? If so, call me, they're mine.

ETA: That's it... change the rules after my thirty creative seconds :D

hmmm bible belt paper... hmmmmmmm

"To the godless heathens who stole the lawnmower, weed whacker and broom from *****address*****: God saw you and He will make your penis fall off for stealing from a soldier's wife while he is serving your country to keep you free!"

Ok guilt and fear. And the predictable 'oh no not my penis" fear that all men have, assuming they were taken by young neighborhood hooligans. If its a roving gang of girl miscreants, you're SOL.
 
Whats sad, is that this was in military housing...

I am thinking that I will run it as the joke heard the one . . no one is really participating, I thought I'd have more options. Maybe I will bump until payday then choose?*shrugs*
 
To our lawn mower, weed whacker, and push broom. No, we were not abandoning you. We were coming back to get you. Please come home, we miss you.
 
Free 5 gallon gas can available to the thief who stole our mower. Beware video cameras this time!
