Caption contest! :(

I'll start: This is one smokin' neck, used to grill hot dogs on the day Leo Fender sold the company"

File deep under "what were they thinking" alongside the Pizza bass.

I would like to ask the seller this one question:

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"If you know Leo Fender like I did, you know that he loved two things: guitars and hockey. Leo himself modified this QC-reject neck so that my polio-stricken daughter could play floor hockey while confined to wheelchair. Regulation curve and ready for athletic tape. Ultra-adaptable design doubles as a shoe horn, doorstop, cake knife, and cricket bat. With a little ingenuity a talented carpenter could turn this into an attractive table lamp, pot rack, or screen door handle. Practically the only thing it couldn't do--really swinging for the fences here--is function as a guitar or bass neck. That would be nuts. Beyond that, the only limit is your imagination. Priced appropriately for spring. $100 shipping gets it to you by Mother's Day! Serious inquiries only, please. No low ballers!"

You have to give the seller his due for a pretty great listing:

Did someone say "pizza bass"? This one even has a bite taken out of it.

The seller has added pictures and updated the listing.

Maybe I misunderstand your comment, but there's a difference between making fun of a birth defect and making fun of a bad tattoo :)
