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** |

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

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. |

26 Apr 04 - 10:43 AM (#1171262) Subject: RE: BS: Whacky newspaper adverts From: GUEST,Larry K 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. |

01 May 04 - 12:57 AM (#1175579) Subject: RE: BS: Whacky newspaper adverts From: LadyJean 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. |
