Say what?--1523 Lafayette Street, Alameda, CA
The complexity of this listing amuses me to no end:
I suppose because it reminds me of this minor John Cleese classic:
[...] Buyer must be willing to put $30k-40k down and qualify for a mortgage of approximately $450,000. Owner will carryback balance of loan for 10 years, interest only, negotiable depending on credit of Buyer. Good renters, nice neighbors. If Buyer prefers not to participate in an installment arrangement, he/she must agree to a 1031 exchange at no cost to Buyer. Owner will consider selling for higher price and credit back to Buyer for additional upgrades. [...]
I suppose because it reminds me of this minor John Cleese classic:It's pretty and shows no obvious sign of trouble, so assuming a buyer comes along who understands the terms, it should go ok, ever though $699,000 is a bit steep.
Humphrey: All right, settle down. Settle down... Now, before I begin the lesson, will those of you who are playing in the match this afternoon move your clothes down onto the lower peg immediately after lunch, before you write your letter home, if you're not getting your hair cut, unless you've got a younger brother who is going out this weekend as the guest of another boy, in which case, collect his note before lunch, put it in your letter after you've had your hair cut, and make sure he moves your clothes down onto the lower peg for you. Now...
Wymer: Sir?
Humphrey: Yes, Wymer?
Wymer: My younger brother's going out with Dibble this weekend, sir, but I'm not having my hair cut today, sir.
Pupils: [chuckling]
Wymer: So, do I move my clothes down, or...
Humphrey: I do wish you'd listen, Wymer. It's perfectly simple. If you're not getting your hair cut, you don't have to move your brother's clothes down to the lower peg. You simply collect his note before lunch, after you've done your scripture prep, when you've written your letter home, before rest, move your own clothes onto the lower peg, greet the visitors, and report to Mr. Viney that you've had your chit signed.
