Personals

Can't stop reading the personal ads. Can't bring myself to try it either, but it's like window shopping. One I saw in "Men seeking women" summed it up for me, it said "the kind of person I'm looking for would never answer a classified ad". Kind of like the Groucho Marx quote about not wanting to belong to a club that would have him as a member.

The most touching ad I've ever seen (quite recently, I think it was in Time Out, wish I had it in front of me) said something like

"Gentleman, 70, seeks lady for going out. PLEASE SPEAK SLOWLY AND CLEARLY WHEN LEAVING MESSAGE."
