Slightly OT: Talk about going all out...

The other day, Jeff posted his pet peeve which is the usage of the phrase "100% het" when folks are selling boas (or any animal really - but we know Jeff doesn't work with egg layers).
I said that "guaranteed het" would be a more marketable term, IMO.

This guy apparently likes BOTH phrases!

lol

I saw that when I was sitting at a stop light and I about fell out of my car laughing! Snapped a pic with my phone and thought I'd share it.

100% means 100%

Guaranteed means guaranteed

Het means Het

Put them all together and you get 100% guaranteed het.

Animals with that label must be really, absolutely, fer sher, no doubt about it, be Het for whatever trait and at least three times as much Het as just a plain Jane Het is.

Right?
