Will an EEL POUT sell my House?
So tell me, is a stuffed eel pout REALLY an old tradition to sell a house?
Yesterday, my friends at work gave me a mounted stuffed eel pout that they swear will sell my house. These people PAID for this and I'm sure it wasn't cheap to stuff an eel pout. I'm still laughing!
Maybe it was cheaper than having to listen to me complain through another Winter!
So St. Francis is buried in the front yard and the eel pout is hanging over the downstairs fireplace. What else should I do?

You need to enlist a big smallmouth bass caught in the Mississippi River behind your home.
Use good fishing to market that home!
Lake front or river front. It's not the views. It's THE FISHING.

I thought you buried some little saint statue in your backyard or something.

Maybe it's working?
We had a showing today! A real showing! The people flew in from San Diego just to see my house. I know it doesn't mean anything but at least someone wanted to see it!
Who knows? There may be something to this eel pout thing.

I've never heard of that being the secret to selling a house; but I have heard of St. Joseph being the one to help sell a house before. Maybe you just have the wrong saint buried there? (St. Francis is the patron saint of animals I believe).

Yeah, St. Joseph is the house selling saint, but vaguely that remember he has to be buried upside down.

What IS an eel pout?
Must the eel be pouting? Can it be smiling? Guess I'd be pouting too if I were some poor stuffed eel.

I think the taxidermist is probably smiling. All the way to the bank!
Silly or not, the eel pout was good for at least 2 showings!
