Well, that 'Depends'...

Big Bag of Depends Undergarments (Brand New)

Big bag of depends undergarments. (brandnew) in a size large to xlarge. They open at the sides or you can just sleep them on. They are very strong and durable. They will be in a black platic bag (well protected from the rain outside of 1612 piccard dr. rockville md. 20850 if this ad is still up then they are still there.


How generous! A big bag of Depends- FREE! And really, it is generous, however it's also weird...but that's not where I take issue with the post. I'm more concerned about this persons use of description and the imagery that it invokes. Take for example the trouble they took to include the features of said Depends, 'They open at the sides or you can just sleep them on.' Sleep them on?! I realize we were going for slip here but the mix up has me re-reading the entire post, this time in an Indian accent. Also, I appreciate the inclusion of the fact that these undergarments are both strong and durable, nevermind that in the case of undergarments (and most other things) that is pretty much redundant. The clincher of this little gem is the description that accompanies the big bag of undergarments current location...in a black, pa[s]tic bag, to protect them from the elements, or more specifically the rain that is falling precisely outside of 1612 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850.
