Women selling positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist

Women across the country are selling -- and buying -- them on Craigslist.

One post from Buffalo, New York, sums up the appeal for potential shoppers:

That guy with the 132lb nutsack wanted to keep and auction that thing. His Dr. looked so funny when explaining to him why he couldn't allow that, lol. I love nutty people....

I saved the one from my son and the plus sign disappeared after a while. I don't remember how long.
