Double take

There is an elevator at our main entrance where people post signs. Most of the signs are currently for various clinical trials revolving food/drinks and their effect on things like cholesterol, muscle mass etc.

Just as the elevator was arriving, this poster caught my eye:

Handsome black male looking for a new home.

?

*blink*

As I get on the elevator, I start thinking “Gee, that’s one way to find a new girlfriend. Or perhaps he is looking for a handsome roomie?”

“Perhaps I should mention this method of finding singles to ScottyGee, who was recently lamenting his singlehood.”

Later, I go to lunch and take the same elevator back into the building.

And that’s when I notice that the sign is for a CAT.

Um, yeah. Perhaps you should’ve put the word CAT in your title, silly.

Of course, it did get my attention. They certainly succeeded in that respect.

*grin*

    That sign made me chuckle. It’s funny, the want-ads and pet ads put in the papers and post boards nowadays.

    I remember one:

    “SWM, likes walks in the park, sunny days, and good loving. A perfect day is some good play time, a book, and then jingling some keys.”

    I took a double take. It was for a babysitter want ad. hehe

    I loved the baby sitter ad, too. I wish I could be that creative.

    Danielle, I’d like to take you up on your HBP offer, if that’s not too much of a problem. I just wasn’t sure where to email you since you said the web account wasn’t up and running.
