A man was reading the paper when an ad caught his eye. It announced, $50 Brand New Porsche!
The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $50, but he decided it was worth a shot.
He went to the address listed on the ad and was met by a woman in the driveway.
She happily led him into the garage and sure enough, there was an brand new Porsche.
Wow! the man said. Can I take it for a test drive?
Sure, answered the lady. The man drove it around the block and was ecstatic to find it ran perfectly.
When he got back to the ladys house, he asked her, Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $50?
The lady replied with a laugh, My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me,
You can have the house and the furniture, just sell my Porsche and send me the money.

That actually happened in the 60s,a buisnessman ran off with his secretary on an overseas trip so the wife sold the new benz for one pound to a guy who put the bid in as a joke,a week later the doorbell rang ,sir your car is here,sure enough the car was his for a quid.

We see that as a joke, well it actually happened here in Adelaide quite a few years ago when the same thing happened. He told his ex to sell his E type Jag that was nearly new & his pride & joy. She advertised it in the Saturday car specials ads in the Advertiser for 200.00. pounds, This guy was sure that it was a misprint, but went to look anyway, got told the story & he bought it. You can imagine the Ex's response.
