One (More) Reason to Subscribe to the London Review of Books

Salon has a great article up (you may have to click through an advert, but you don't have to register) about the personal ads in the LRB. Highly amusing--for example:

"My finger on the pulse of culture, my ear to the ground of philosophy, my hip in the medical waste bin of Glasgow Royal Infirmary. 14% plastic and counting -- geriatric brainiac and compulsive NHS malingering fool (M, 81), looking for richer, older sex-starved woman on the brink of death to exploit and ruin every replacement operation I've had since 1974. Box 7648 (quickly, the clock's ticking, and so is this pacemaker)."

Yay, Glasgow.

    You're such a douche you even took down the evidence that you were a douche when someone pointed out that you're a douche.
