OMG These had me laughing out loud!

There was a classified ad in my local paper this weekend that could fit in this catagory... the only thing I changed below was removing the name of the place at the beginning and the address at the end -- everything else is exactly as it appeared in the paper.

***** Gentlemens Club is currently hiring dancers, waitstaff, bartenders, and DJs. No exp. needed, will train. PT/FT days, nights, and weekends. Must be flexible. Apply in person.

OK - I can understand wanting to have flexible dancers -but the way this ad is worded makes it sound like the entire staff needs to be flexible! Seriously, they probably meant 'flexible' in terms of work availabity and hours, but flexible is the wrong word to use in this ad

I almost missed this thread because of the forum on which it was posted.

Wish you had posted it on Social Chat.

Maybe you could put it there, too, so others that do not read this forum can also have a good laugh.
