Real Wood Stove



What is wrong with this picture? 

Let me count the ways:

1. A wood stove
2. Made out of wood
3. Guaranteed to burn 4 hours
4. Made in Poland
5. Only $48.95

We found this in a very unique house we were showing to my friend, Traci Ferguson of Intrinsic Design. She is the one who pointed out the ad in the machine shop that could barely be seen through the dust of the years (and I mean years). She dusted it off and sure enough, it said what we thought it said. She also had to wash her hands afterwards. After we laughed so hard we almost peed our pants.

Firewood costs $5/bundle? It burns for about 4 hours. 
Or, you could just send off $48.95 (+shipping/handling) to this company in Poland, get yourself a real wood stove, and have yourself a fire in style. Your friends will be amazed (probably at your stupidity, but amazed, none-the-less).

Or, if you have some scrap wood laying around the house and a lot of time on your hands, perhaps you could make your own, amazing and dazing your friends. 

I can't make this kind of stuff up.
