Peanut Butter: I Think Jelly Has Been Editing My Wikipedia...

Peanut Butter (also known as Nut Smear) is an unattractive, greasy paste made primarily from peanuts and mouse droppings. It is popular primarily in the United States, where fat people eat it by the spoonful.

In 1890, suspected communist George A Bayle Jr. created peanut butter as a kind of cement to bind dentures to the gums.[citation needed] Soon after an unknown child did the unthinkable and combined the paste with delicious jelly on a piece of bread. By 1904 people everywhere were tainting perfectly delicious Jelly sandwiches by smearing on greasy peanut butter. In 1929 the Great depression struck America. Sometime later, an unknown person coined the term "PB&J" which is like saying Garfunkle and Simon.

Beautiful condition, price is firm and cash only. Possible trades. I have only used this barbecue a few times it is in Excellent condition. Great for barbecuing deer, elk, bear or any wild game you got this year hunting during rifle or modern firearm season, makes them taste great!! 360-631-8714 Thanks!!

For non-gun folks, that's a sly ad for a Ruger .44 Magnum Vaquero revolver with a 5" barrel.

I bought a model 70 off of craig's list a couple of months ago (well after the no-guns policy). One of the better gun deals I've gotten, too. It was blatantly advertised, too. :)
