ABOVE GROUND POOL W/LADDER (12 MILES EAST OF THE AIRPORT ON HWY 71)

"THE FIRST ONE TO COME FOR IT GETS IT. IT'S A 15 FT ROUND ABOVE GROUND POOL. IT COMES WITH LADDER, PUMP, & PLUGS--EVERYTHING YOU NEED. IT HAS BEEN UNDER OUR MOBILE HOME FOR 2 YEARS AND WILL NEED A GOOD SCRUBBING BEFORE USE."


Nice try, above-ground pool poster. You can create all the diversions you want — the ladder placed distractingly in the foreground, the all-caps typing, the extraneous information about this soi-disant pool's distance from the airport — but you’re not going to keep anyone from noticing that heap of trash in the background, nor the fact that this “pool,” after its two-year residency under your trailer (thanks for being up front about that, by the way), now apparently lives under the freeway.

Thanks, but I think I saw a puddle of antifreeze in the Walmart parking lot that I’d rather swim in.
