I was on the interwebs last night and came across a classic Craigslist posting. This one really got me because I can just imagine the entire scene in my head involving one of my drunk friends. I initially thought the guy was being sincere but when he called them “cripple sticks” he sort of lost me. I’ve included the entire post below because Craigslist rolls them off every week or so:

I stole your crutches.

dear sir or madam:
at approximately 00:30 on thursday morning, i was with a friend walking back from a night of drunken revelry when i spotted a pair of crutches leaning against the fence by the tennis courts. you are evidently very tall, as i had to adjust these crutches before i could mockingly, drunkenly use them. i apologize for any inconvenience i caused you and would be more than happy to return your cripple sticks.
please respond at your earliest convenience. tell me what your crutches look like so i don’t give them to a cripple-poser.
