Fwd: Types of Ads husband put up for Wife on Sale

A British man, fed up with his wife’s complaints, advertised her for sale — and got a number of offers.

“Nagging Wife. No Tax . .. Very high maintenance — some rust,” wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.

Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife, Donna, got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the advert as a joke.

“She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I’d put an ad in to get rid of her.

“I didn’t think anyone would ring up, but I’ve had people calling about her. It’s gone mad. There was no one I knew — just people asking, ‘Is she still available?’”

The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife — whom he advertised in the magazine’s “Free to Collect” section, along with some of his fishing tackle — initially gave him “a bit of an ear-bashing”. But he added: “She’s seen the funny side of it now!” — AFP
