OK, I just had to share this. |

Make sure you read down to some of the later stuff. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4146756343#ebayphotohosting found my ex-wife's wedding dress in the attic when I moved. She took the $4000 engagement ring but left the dress. I was actually going to have a dress burning party when the divorce became final, but my sister talked me out of it. She said, "That’s such a gorgeous dress. Some lucky girl would be glad to have it. You should sell it on EBay. At least get something back for it." So, this is what I’m doing. I’m selling it hoping to get enough money for maybe a couple of Mariners tickets and some beer. This dress cost me $1200 that my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn’t so I got stuck with the bill. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years. Thank the Lord we didn't have kids. If they would have turned out like her or her family I would have slit my wrists. Anyway, it’s a really nice dress as you can see in the pictures. Personally, I think it looks like a $1200 shower curtain, but what do I know about this. We tried taking pictures of this lovely white garment but it didn’t look right on the hanger as you can see, so my sister says, "You need a model." Well, quite frankly my sister isn’t exactly small, (like a size 12 is?) so she wouldn’t pose for the picture. Seeing as I have sworn off women for the time being and I ain’t friends with any, it left me holding the bag. I took the liberty of blacking out my face - not to protect the ex-wife but to protect me from my bar buddies and co-workers finding out about it. I would never live it down. Actually I didn’t think my head would fit in the neck hole, but then I figured she got her Texas cheerleader hair through there I could get my head in it. Though, after looking at the pictures, I thought it made me look fat. How do you women wear this crap? I only had to walk 3 feet and I tripped twice. Don’t worry ladies - I am wearing clothes on underneath it. I gotta say it did make me feel very pretty. So if it can make me feel pretty, it can make you feel pretty, especially on the most important day of your life, right? Anyway, I was told to say it has a train and a veil and all kinds of shiny beady things. I think it's funny that one picture makes it look like the chest plate off an Imperial Storm Trooper. Did I mention that all I want is a ball game and beer? Cheap at twice the price. Ladies, you won’t regret this. You may regret the dude you marry but not the dress.

4. Wedding dresses are difficult to sell.... |
|
Brides want their own dresses, unless passed down from their own families. My niece paid 5K for her dress (her parents). Her marriage lasted 15 months. Her husband confessed that he was gay and divorced her. After 5 years of holding on to her dress, she donated her wedding dress to the Goodwill. She was heart-broken but it gave her a brake from her exmarriage and now she's dating a promissing guy. Do youself a favor, donate the dress to a good cause and get a life.

5. Dude...no offense but you don't look like a size 12 |
|
LOL!
Wedding dresses also run small so a 12 is probably more like a 10 and you don't look like a women's 10 in the photos (I think that is probably a good thing to tell a man isn't it? LOL)
I think your horrible X lied to you about her dress size...is there a tag in that baby?
This is the 2nd best chuckle I have had all day (I have a really sad life apparently LOL)

Still, it's a funny, funny picture. Especially with those tatoos.

No wonder they got divorced... I wouldn't want to stay married to that guy, either. ("If it fit over my ex-wife's caboose, it'll fit over yours"?! "I've never been inside anything feminine that didn't nag me to take out the garbage"?!?!) Now I realize that trash-talking your ex is de rigeur in certain circles, but this guy's got problems with women, period, even if he's just laying it on thick for alleged "humour" value.
I think I'm more laughing at him than laughing with him...
