Great reply to a question about a cricket/tennis/baseball throwing machine!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0756119316

Q: hello!! i would like to buy the machine!!can you send it in greece??

A: Sorry my friend, I can't ship this to greece for 3 reasons. 1. It weighs more than Stavros Flatley. 2. Shipping costs would be more than the national debt of Greece. 3. You'd probably fire baseballs at Turkey & I love the Turks as much as you Greeks, so wouldn't want to be responsible for encouraging further hostilities. σας ευχαριστώ Dave

lol I'd like to see the response

The ad does say collection only or arrange your own courier!

My question to him!!

Q: I understand you not wanting to increase the Greek/Turkish tensions but would you consider posting it to Northern India if I promise to behave with it and not fire cricket balls at Pakistan?

A: Paul, I'm sure your intentions are honourable, but for your own sake I'm going to say no. Should your guard drop & balls are fired into Pakistan... you'd never get them back would you? ps. Anyone living near the border with Wales... I can do a good discount. pps. Joking I am

If you could ship to Pakistan, could it be adapted to throw a match?

i like it

pure class
