I put on a different joke whenever I list (just my nature!):  

Once upon a time lived a beautiful Queen with large breasts. Nick the Dragon Slayer obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try. One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, the King's chief doctor. Horatio thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause Nick readily agreed to the scheme.

The next day, Horatio made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's bra while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense. Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch..

The King, eager to help his Queen, quickly summoned Nick to their chambers. Horatio then slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's large and magnificent breasts. The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and hailed as a hero. Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Horatio demanding his payment of 1,000 gold coins . With his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn't have cared less and, knowing that Horatio could never report this matter to the King, and with a laugh told him to get lost.

The next day, Horatio slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear. The King immediately summoned Nick.


The moral of the story: 
Pay your bills!!!

 LOL LOL LOL

HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!!!!!!!!  Irish

HERE I GO:

1) I am a pretty easy going, comical, sane, ethical - all in all - nice person.  I have no OCD or retentive issues - I hope I am doing business with same.

2)  Insurance is required by the new ebay law.  I package to the best of my ability BUT to gain employment at the U.S. Post Office you must be able to throw items, crush items and have the ability to play volleyball.  If something arrives crushed/broken or just plain messed up -- don't friek out -- WE WILL WORK IT OUT!  Relax!

3)  I purchase all items from estates or some type of sale.  I do not know if it is coming from a smoking home or not.  I will, to the best of my ability, describe any shortcomings (if any) the item may have.  I am NOT an expert.

4) Feedback:  my negative feedback "sparse" has come from newer ebayers.  This is not Wal-Mart.  I sell VINTAGE - used items - USED.  If you are unreasonable on your expectations - please don't bid.  Remember; nothing is coming to you in shrink wrap from the store - USED VINTAGE. 

5)  Negative feedback will be fought with my Irish temper....I don't deserve getting my butt nailed to the wall for anything stupid - Period.   

6) IF I would grossly misinform an item (go back to #1) - I will refund your money. 

THANKS FOR BIDDING AND AS ALWAYS ""GOOD LUCK!""
