I advertise myself as The Cleaning Fairy, good rates, references Clean Enough for Most In-Laws.
When I started out, I had two responses from men who wanted me to watch them walk around the house nude, and several who wondered if I cleaned in lingerie. I wanted to show up at their places in lingerie, and explain that for $50 I'd clean and for $100 I'd go away.

When I was in college many years ago, I read the following personal ad in the Boston Phoenix.    Here is as much as I remember.   The best part is the last line.   I am not making this up.

I love midnight rides in police cars.   Sandwiches with real sand in them.   Burnt Flesh offerings.   Screaming at the moon at midnight. (others I can't remember) Looking for someone to share this with.   No weirdos, freaks, or phonies please.

I saw a for sale advert for a "solid oak bedspread" once. It sounded a bit uncomfortable to me...

Does happen. I once carried on a conversation with a girlfriend in the personal columns of a local rag and it was unfortunate one week that a wheelchair-bound lonely heart posted a genuine plea for a synpathetic companion. The editor admited he had a hard time the next week, and my protestations were as if nothing, by comparison. We were having fun so you can guess the innuendo that was hovering at all times.

Mr Red - as the ad was surrounded by others with pictures of barely dressed males & females with exotic names promising exotic thrills I just assumed he was in the same line of business.

But maybe the compositors (if such people existed anymore) just placed it in the wrong section.

does this one qualify?

My local paper covers Sydney's entertainment area & I've never
forgotten a Personal ad I saw years ago.

'Tanned blond surfer looking for older woman to financially assist me. Call .... '

I've always wondered if he was successful.

I still have a job advert "" ............contact Mr Makepiece, Worcester Screw specialists"

And just this week I picked-up a business card for a used car firm that reloices in the name of it's owner "Nick King" - would you buy a used car from this man? (come t0 think about it - Nixon is almost as aproppos)

Had to share this one...coulda been written on Mudcat, imo!

read in a Colorado "alternative" paper under the "For Rent" section...

Three sexy broads looking for forth (sic): Roommate needed for rompin', frolicking and theoretical debates. One bedroom open in a four-bedroom farmhouse downtwon, including w/d, voodoo lounge and spacious back yard. Cleanliness, respect, and Jedi skills a must.

Hmmm, sounds kinda fun and interesting!**bg**
