210 Slow news day

Saturday is sometimes a slow news day. A good time to look through the Personals and see what people are looking for in the way of love and companionship.

“Single black Christian female, 47, employed, is seeking a single white Christian male with his own teeth and hair, between 30-45 employed, who likes country and western music.”

“A full figured 57 year old woman who likes garage sales and flea markets seeks a financially secure man who likes to cook.”

I don’t know about you, but these two ads gave me quite a chuckle--a middle aged black woman listening to C & W with her sweety, a young white dude who has his own teeth, and a heavy woman who has a rich guy at home cooking while she cruises the flea markets.

Also, women are getting smarter about writing these ads. Instead of mentioning walks in the park and romantic dinners, they now say they like NASCAR.
