Companionship

This has to be one of the best singles ads ever printed. It is reported to have been listed in the Atlanta Journal.

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call [redacted] and ask for Daisy, I'll be waiting....

Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society.

N.B.: Snopes says this is probably apocryphal. The Atlanta Humane Society disavows it. I think it's hilarious anyway.

Thanks to Michel for forwarding it.

There was an ABBA song about a guy answering an ad in the personals that said "two for the price of one."

Turned out to be a woman looking for a husband who wouldn't mind sharing a house with her mother.
