    Default Murphy... Free To A Good Home

    He says his name is Murphy. He dosen't talk much but he's extremely, shall we say "active". He took up residency here a couple years ago. He's been here so long his name is on our mailbox. The postman knows him by name. He has his own room complete with closet, lamp, pillows, rugs...Sometimes when it's real quiet you can hear him jumping around in there chanting, but when you open the door he hides. Maybe that's when he goes to other houses to visit. He says he has brothers. HUGE family...all named Murphy. And they are all looking for good homes.

    We claimed him on taxes this year since we provided 100% of his room and board. Accountant agreed it was legal. Accountant asked if we were going to adopt him for an extra tax credit. We said no, we'll pass on that one. The government needs the money more than we need Murphy.

    I don't want to be greedy, we've had him long enough and we are a sharing family. If anyone needs a tax deduction for next year I'll pay the postage to ship him to you in a big box ( airholes not guaranteed )....PRIORITY OR FEDEX...your choice...the faster the better...

    Don't pass up this chance to own your very own Murphy...Free to a good home...No returns...Giveaway final

    You can keep him! We've entertained his many cousins. They were "party poopers" too!

    Here's what needs to be done with Murphy>>>

    I have had one of his brothers here for a couple years, I really do not need one of his family members moving in with him.

    I'm so sorry you have his other brother, I know the damage they can do!

    Maybe we could hire them out to the government. Food and drug testers for the FDA. Crash dummy stand ins for all the assorted transportation agencies. Bodies to sit there and listen to all the political blah blah blah while we go do something useful. Space test subjects.

    Murphys ought to pay their way if they're going to hang around.
