I'm going to say the two guys arguing over purses ranks at or near the top of the list.

I liked the post where there guy had an issue with an AD and called Rolex USA who immediately called the AD and reprimanded them for their bad behavior.

But the massage oil story is a classic. He should have got merits for that, not banned.

Eliot, I think the 16 yo poster stole that from the "Fantasy letters" page of a Playboy magazine. There was probably a bit more than that in the original story that he didn't include.

I am going to start copying and saving some of the more outrageous TRF posts so that next year I can contribute to what should be an 'Annual Thread'.

I believe the massage story but highly doubt the "asked for an unattractive older woman" line. He knew what he was paying for when he ordered the in-room massage in a place like that

My nomination for post of the year is Paul receiving Anna in the mail from Jocke. A gift that kept on giving on TRF.

Did we get the "Diet Coke" thread in 2016 or was that the end of 2015

Wasn't banned for that post - was something completely different.

This idea of funniest post of the year needs a Top 10 we can vote on.

And, judging from the posts received right afterwards, it was a contender for most popular ban of the year, being somewhat overdue in the opinion of many.

He didn't make many friends in the Vintage section, either.

Oil massage is classic. In case of poll my vote goes for that one.

This was by far my favorite. I even offered to buy the BLNR from the AD over the phone just so he couldn't have it.
