A couple days ago, a new house came on the market in one of the neighborhoods we're most interested in. We saw from the listing that it was a foreclosure, but it was priced about 10 percent less than a similarly-sized house we're considering buying in that neighborhood, so we got in to see it yesterday. The front door had half its paint scraped off. The garage door was so beat up I doubt it opened. The roof had a 6'x6' area that was severely damaged. Then we walk inside, and all the carpet in the entire house was at least 50% mud-damaged, or drink-damaged, or I-don't-want-to-know-what-damaged. The walls were filled with marks. There was severe water damage on both floors. Everything left in the house was filthy beyond belief.
So why, I'm sure you're asking yourselves, was this awful, awful house only 10 percent less than the house we're interested in? Let's see if you can figure it out from this picture of the house:
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
