Getting rid of an old used car. Saw this over in another forum and it made me laugh. Thought you all might have some more "Kingsnake classified Cliches"

these are from the other forum:
While perusing the "Other Kingsnakes and Milksnakes" classifieds here on ks, I can't help but notice the routinely used cliches. I've offered some translations. Anyone else?

"These would be a nice addition to any collection.."
Translation: These are common but make great pets.

"With heavy feeding they'll go next year.."
Translation: These aren't ready to breed yet.

"Hasn't been proven out.."
Translation: This is not a recessive trait, and you know it.

"Price drop .."
Translation: Please buy these, please, please, please

"If nobody buys these, I'll just keep them and breed them myself.."
Translation: My asking price is too high, I'm just trying to see if anyone will pay it
Alternate translation: If nobody buys these, I'll trade them to a friend for mice.

All in fun.. (I've used those cliches myself)
