We Wanna Check Out Your Junk

“Without actually seeing your junk, it’s difficult to give you a price over the phone or online. We’re happy to send a team to you though. After seeing your junk, they’ll provide you with a no-obligation upfront price, and will be prepared to get started on the spot. Even if you can’t be onsite, we can still come by and call you with an estimate for your job.”

(This is actually part of the online instructions for 1 800 GOT JUNK, a company that hauls away actual junk. But I got a smile out of it, and thought someone else might, too.)

Ohhh… THAT kind of junk. Thought you were referring to the other junk, which is a euphemism I just can’t understand, for the external male genitalia. Brings on a whole different meaning to checking out a guy’s junk!

Hooboy, they could have some fun with this. Some proposed ad copy:

“We’ll need to feel up your junk in order to get an idea of its quality, and we might take a few snapshots. Be sure that your junk is clean and ready to go when we come. If you have a nice package, so much the better. We’ll check out your box, too, if that’s how you’re equipped.”

“It’s A Type Of Boat”

Little known jive-fact:

“Junk” in the sense of heroin or other opiates, refers to the type of boat, not “trash.”

Originally, anything associated with China was handy stand-in slang/code for opiates. Fans, gongs, dragons, junk, etc.

“Or put your junk in our box, for only a small extra fee!”

I am pretty sure that is illegal in most states in the USA… :wink:

Ah, you’re no fun anymore.

You can see their point of view though. What if you agreed, sight unseen, to deal with someone’s junk, then you turned up and it was Diggleblop?

Haha. I nearly choked on my toast at this. The whole thing appeals to my juvenile sense of humor, but this was the best bit so far.

A guy’s gotta’ be areful he doesn’t put his junk in any ol’ bag.

It’s not always true that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Although, you’d be surprised at what a difference it makes when you polish up some old junk. But it has to have function to have value; you don’t want somebody’s broken, rusty old junk, and you sure don’t want it cluttering up your yard. Some girls might not mind having a little junk in the bushes, though.

C’mon, you guys just aren’t tryin’!
