Turtle in Oregon - Sad/funny Ad

[MPRC]

This poor little guy caught my eye. While I don't approve of buying someone a surprise turtle, painting it or dumping it when things don't go your way, I can't help but laugh at the tone of the ad.

So there's a girl I really like and she always wanted a turtle, so I thought I'd get her a f***ing turtle and write "Prom?" On the shell. It didn't work.

The turtle comes with everything you need
- 60 gallon aquarium
- 2 pumps (one fish tank pump, one submersible)
- Spare filter
- 2 water heaters
- thermometer
- A turtle light w/ dimmer
- My crushed dreams
- some rocks and ****
- fake plants

I'm low balling the price like hell but I need to get this beautiful little b*stard out of my sad life. Thanks.

I wonder why it didn't work! Someone did that for me, I'd at least take the turtle, then say No
