I put this ad on craigslist. I was deadly serious too. I will totally bust anyone’s ghosts. I’ve done it before, and I have no reason to suspect that I can’t do it again. Yes, I know there are no such things as ghosts, but people who are being haunted don’t respond to that logic.

“the wrong way”

“the wrong way”

I answer Craigslist posts because it amuses me. The sad thing here is that this is really the first thought I had when I saw the subject heading.

This came from the Strictly Platonic section. The thought process went something like this: “Here we are looking through Strictly Platonic entries. This is how I met some of my current friends, so there’s always hope. And it’s nice to know that everyone here is at least ostensibly primarily motivated by other factors than sex. Hm, this one says “quick Village drink?” Not sure what village she’s talking about, or why it’s capitalised. There’s no place name around here with “village” in the title. Well, let’s just click on it and see. If I am interested - in what? - then please .. OH GOD WHAT? What massage? What? What just happened? Oh God!” I don’t like being mugged by a line of text.
