It's no time for frippery!

Posted March 10, 2001 12:13 PM.

Tom, please, cite your sources - this is no time for frippery. Yes Tom, Sorry Tom - I found it in Metafilter. Metafilter you say? What is this foolishness? Well it's a job advert. You what? A job advert - "Employment Wanted". And why could I possibly have the slightest interest in reading about that? It starts like this: "Former Marijuana Smuggler - Having successfully completed a ten year sentence, incident-free, for importing 75 tons of marijuana into the United States. I am now seeking a legal and legitimate means to support myself and my family." Ah. I see. So it's supposed to be funny? Well .... yes ...
