After clicking on the ad, I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. I sat there with tears in the corners of my eyes trying to read the ad to Mr. Right, but I was laughing so hard I couldn't speak.
I'm seriously contemplating responding to the author of this ad to let him know he made my day. For a few inexplicably hysterical moments, my blues morphed into a rainbow. One painted by clowns. Drunk clowns with no thumbs.
If you don't find it funny, please don't tell me or I'll have to seriously reconsider our relationship.

Oh dear! A zebra, eh? Wow.
When I tried to sell my chandelier, my roommate wrote an hilarious ad about how it had hung in the bedchamber of Marie Antoinette, and later was smuggled out of revolution torn France in a round of Morbier.
I got many responses thanking me for the funny ad, but no one wanted to buy it.
I'm glad to know that I can list my wishes on Craig's List. Funny.
A zebra? Okay, but I HAVE to know -trained to do what?
They are probably tired of the football officiating and decided to do something about it.
Well, shoot, if I'd known I could I would have posted for a penguin!
That's hilarious!
Reya: People amaze me with their humor and creativity. I think I would have bought your chandelier just because of the ad. However, I don't have a zebra so I can't help this fellow out.
Rosaria: Have you ever taken a look at Craigslist?! It's this amazing mish mash of actual ads mixed in with random wierdness. Apparently, you can put just about anything on there!
Amy: After I stopped laughing and could think clearly, that was my very first question. What does he want to train it TO DO?!
Lee: You may be on to something there. And, if the Eagles don't do well this season, my husband will be posting his own ad for a refereeing zebra.
Bug: A penquin?! I wouldn't place that ad. You might end up with a homeless nun on your doorstep.
yow amy - a zebra - that'd be cool to walk or better yet - to ride around town on wouldn't it?! imagine arriving at a restaurant and tying it up to a lamppost. man there's tons of potential - and no i am not the guy who posted the ad!! steven
Steven: Way to try and cover. You can't fool me though. *wink*
I found a camel for sale!
Susan: Seriously?! Was it a local camel or were you going to have to pay for shipping?
I want one too!
That way, I'll always have something for the Thursday Zebras meme.
Hoot! Oh lordy lord, I do hope no one tells him that even though zebras look like stripy horses, they are totally untrainable. If worse came to worst, he could always paint stripes on a horse. (Why am I assuming the advertiser is a 'he'?!)
Oooh, it's so good to be back amongst my bloggy friends! I'm off now to play catch-up on all your recent posts...byeeee xxx
I think it would be worth it to contact the owner and find out what it can do. Fetch? Roll over? I wonder exactly what a zebra can do...
Wow! Craig's List is really something isn't it? You can search for hookers and zebras all at the same time!
I know I was already following your blog, but stupid blogger has screwed me yet again. Arrrrrrrrrrgh. Oh well, all fixed now.
I just watched a show last night where people with monkeys treat them like babies. It was scary.
What kind of training can a zebra possibly have? lol! I want one if it will clean my house!
You are a riot!
I love Craigslist.
(PS, never accidentally type craiglist instead of craigslist. Just take my word for it.)
