Craigslist Fun

I saw an ad in the part-time job section of craigslist for NON-SEXUAL EXCORT SERVICE!!!

Pancake City Career Tip: If your profession requires the qualifier “non-sexual” for its want ads, it’s probably a good time to go on a date with a career counselor.

I was also browsing the housing listings because I may be moving soon. I have a weakness for reading the “Christian-only” ads, like this one:

“We are a household of secure, grounded Christian women who love the Lord and have iron-shapening-iron friendships, who are walking in obedience to the word of God. Most of us go to McLean Bible Church/Frontline. “

Now that’s some good iron. Iron so tough that not only can it form the basis of friendship, but that same iron can be used to clobber weaker, friendless iron into the shape of one’s choosing. Like an iron collar that you could use on an third, even weaker iron to make it your bitch. Or maybe an iron knife for Iron Chef. Or an iron iron, although it would be heavy and difficult to lift, unless you’re Iron Man (comic book character in the Silver Age of comics) or just want to display it on a pedestal as a piece of conceptual art.

Your hip friends will laugh at the irony.
