Unacceptable Furniture Sale


Thanks to Gina Helfrich for this one.  There are several layers of funniness here.  First of all, who wants to buy a chair swing without the chains?  Unacceptable.  More importantly though, notice the little blue sticker: 50% off.  Yes, indeed.  This furniture is in fact 50% off.   Acceptable.
