PT Barnum once said that there’s a sucker born every minute. I wonder how many people are going to be a sucker on this one. This is a classified ad that I found in The Breeze‘s classified ads in their September 29, 2003 issue. And I quote…
Looking For a Friend? I will hang out with you for $10 an hour. Call Mike, 438-XXXX (number withheld for obvious reasons)
I have half a mind to call this “Mike” fellow up. I should call him up only to find out if someone was desperate enough to actually want to pay someone $10 an hour for companionship.
I hope no one’s desperate enough to actually reply to this ad, and I definitely hope no one actually PAYS for this…

Song: Hatten är Din by Azar Habib. The real name of the song is actually "Habbeetik", but in 'net circles, it's "Hatten är Din", meaning "The Hat Is Yours" in Swedish.
