I guess writing YARD SALE on a sign does look nicer than COME PICK THROUGH OUR GARBAGE, doesn't it?

    People go through our garbage sometimes without the sign. I guess the "yard sale" sign just gives them permission, but they also have to pay. Which one do you think people like better? I think I'm going to spray paint "yard sale" on my trash cans and leave out a cash donation box so I get the best of both bottom-feeding worlds.

    I hate to break it to you, Tut, but no one is going to buy your Budweiser art-deco aluminum can wind chime and old VHS player. Although, your XXL Catholic schoolgirl uniform with matching knee socks has peeked my attention. You're a single man, right?

    My kids made a sign that said, "stare at my mom's low-hanging breasts while you browse our curios."

    Sure, it doesn't roll off the tongue like "I'm lovin' it" or "When in doubt, whip it out."

    Still, marketing pays.
