monkeys and donkeys
(Issue #10 - 2003-10-29)
A friend of mine wanted to play a prank on a friend of hers. The result? Two advertisements on craigslist.org that seemed impossibly fake. Here's one:
That's right! I have two very social spider monkeys, hercules and griptype-thin, and they need to get out to see people. If you are having a birthday party for a child or a party, I would love to bring them by. Since my girlfriend moved out, they haven't been getting the attention they deserve. Since they are very social, this has led to some depression and hair loss.
Give me a call if you'd like to meet the monkeys (but no spanking!) (202) 550-1794 (I haven't had my cell phone switched over from the dc number yet, but feel free to call me in the evenings, I am on west coast time.)
and the other:
I've recently moved to DC to work for the Democratic National Committee, and I need to find a good home for my donkey. I know it sounds strange, but I've had Deputy Softy since 4h in high school, but my aunt can no longer afford to keep him. He has a very pleasant temperment and has won two red ribbons.
Also, I have two tickets to shania twain in Banff this winter that I might be willing to toss into the deal if you can help find a good home for Deputy Softy.
please call (202) 550-1794. I work late, so don't worry about the time difference.
I had no idea that so many people had similar donkey issues or wanted to help out a lonely monkey, but my agent on the inside recorded some of the messages that people left for me. Here they are:
Whew!
