How to Sell a House

I have several friends with houses on the market - and I've been there before - when it just won't seem to budge.

Cue St. Joseph. 

Joe for short.

Order your St. Joseph home selling kit from Amazon, or the like. Hey, it's 2013. He's pretty small, and looks nice against the Cajun Shrimp nail polish.


Dig a hole. With a screwdriver, if you gave away your shovel. Hypothetically.


St. Joe will wait patiently while you dig.


So will MS. With a refreshment.


While you're waiting, read over the prayer. Yes, there's a small ceremony invovled.



Conduct said ceremony. Full instructions included. Bring your own passion for the reading.



 Bury St. Joe head down, facing the front of the house. The instructions are detailed.




Take pictures before eating cookie cake to celebrate the surefire sale of your home.


Clearly this is all in fun, but it worked for me. Just saying....

I'm a big believer in this. We found one buried in my parents' front yard shortly after we moved in and have lent him out three times to family friends - all of whose homes sold shortly after.

Make sure you pay the preacher in beer. I think that's in the instructions

Ordered today. I forgot about the prowess of St. Joe. Clearly.

Update: We are still waiting for Joe to work his magic. Maybe I should have splurged on a larger statue.
