Have you guys ever gotten stuff like this from Craigslist?  I once had a friend that had some guy email him and try to help him smuggle in a couple million into the US.

Bizarre.

Several years ago, I saw a post from some guy who offerred the service of driving your car into the ocean.  (A short drive, since I live on the coast.)

Call up and tell him your name is "Mark" and tell him you've got a Jabba costume.
