What the what?!!!

Thanks Liz Lemon.

Here is my crazy story. If you are sensitive or impressionable, please stop reading.

I've been wanting a serger (a special kind of sewing machine) for a long time. They're pretty expensive. Even used on craigslist it's rare to find one for less than $200. Last Saturday I was perusing the craigslist ads and found that a woman near my home was selling a serger at her yard sale for an undisclosed amount. I decided to check it out. When I got there she was pretty much done with the yard sale and was closing up shop. I asked her if she still had the serger. She did, and she said she would sell it to me with all of her other sewing items (3 rubbermaid bins full of stuff) for only $50!! I was so excited. I got it all home, Cory unloaded it into the guest room, and I started going through the bins.
A side note: there was A LOT of ugly fabric that I ended up selling on craigslist for $15 so I ended up only paying $35 for everything! Sweet!
So as I was going through one of the bins, I saw something that I didn't recognize as a sewing-type item. I pulled it out to see what it was and realized that I was holding a large, pink, rubber male body part. SICK!! I chucked it back in the box and called Cory screaming and laughing and blushing and wanting to puke after actually touching the thing. After I calmed down, I continued looking through the bin, much more cautiously, and found a shoebox full of other sex toys. I'll spare you pictures but I couldn't get over the irony of the sticker on the shoebox. It was a big pink circle and in white letters it said "DIY". I'm sure the lady thought that her kids (or husband?) would never find that stuff hidden in her sewing bins but apparently she hid them a little too well.
What are the odds?
