Okay, that was migrain inducing....
Nothing amazing there, people that got through their lives w/out needing/learning to read are now trying to learn... on craigslist.
10 years ago you just drove down to the local paper and told the lady at the counter what you wanted the ad to say, no English composition necessary.
I think I should be scared, I understood the ad the first time I read it.
For those needing a "translation":
For sale, 3 bum(trashed?) trucks.
1st has a bum(bad?) engine
2nd has a broke(bad) transmission
3rd has a 55 foot (not all that great?) paint job.
Okay, I give up--what was the search term you used? "motor"?

In reply to jsymonds:
What? You mean you don't regularly search for keywords "bum, trock, and brock"?

I've heard of a 10/10 paint job and a car referred to as a 20 footer; but a 55 footer? Must be some looker!

Betcha. 12 grand for a 55 foot boom truck isn't all that stoopid. At least not in comparison to the rest of it.

I have my Nigerian accountant writings check as we speak.
I guess I didn't get it after all...
bum = BOOM....who would have thunk it? I guess the "tip-off" was the 55 foot?
A 3 bum truck is one with a bench seat in the front. A 2 bum truck has buckets.
