Cant find where this ad from Craigslist originally appeared (as a joke) on imamother. But want to post the reply {see at the end} I got from someone to whom I forwarded the "funny job offer".
PS How can I find where this was originally posted here? Didnt seemed to be in any of the categories I expected.
