Does anyone want some sacks? I have a great quantity of sacks. The amount of sacks I have is starting to be a problem. I thought about offering sacks to people off the street, but that might not be a good idea. What should I do? ---

Oh, sacks. I thought you had socks. Or secks. ---

I’d love to have some sacks, but they’re probably fairly expensive to transport. I expect I shall remain sackless. ---

I thought the typical number was one sack for men, none for women. If you took them for a jog, would that be _ransacked?_ ---

So many people are getting sacked lately, I doubt they’d be interested in your sacks. Perhaps there’s a charity that would take them? ---

I prefer baritone sax to tenor sax, but I’m not really a reed person at all. Brass, more. ---

> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > I prefer baritone sax to tenor sax, but I’m not really a reed person at all. Brass, more. Though if the sacks were made of brass, and they played music that caused you to dance vigourously, you would be getting down to brass sacks. ---

I don’t really need any more sacks. I could use some drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, though. ---

Dirty sacks? Just put on a good blues CD and enjoy it! 😃 Seriously, when I used to get plastic bags, I used them for packing material whenever I sent a parcel. They are lightweight and if you use enough of them, they will cushion items almost as well as bubble wrap. ---
