what people want

Is this not the weirdest 'help wanted' ad you've ever seen?
WANTED: Nurse for bsmnt apt. Must be single & willing to be on call evenings. Please contact 742-xxxx.

Maybe it's not that weird, really. But it seems freaky deaky to me. If any nurses turn up missing in the next few weeks, though, I know where I'd look first.

Two items:
1) I not only noticed this ad, I cut it out and put it on my fridge to freak out friends who thought I was applying for the job

2) I did a reverse phone number lookup on the number. If you want, I'll tell you who placed the ad sometime.

I'm glad I'm not the only one looking for humor in the Boomerang classifieds!

I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

Damn! All my training is for shit! Here is a clever sign, but I can't explain why. Is this an example of irony? And if it's irony, is it dramatic irony? Or situational? Maybe verbal? Oh, the shame of being a member of Las Departamento de English and not being able to identify a smart rhetorical play when I see it! The shame!
