the oldest profession

There I was at work, leafing idly through the paper, when I happened to glance down at the situations vacant pages.  And there it was!! I nearly choked on my coffee it made me laugh so much.  I will replicate it here as it was in the New Zealand herald of 20.08.07

and so on...! I was beside myself laughing, that has got to be the best sits vac I have ever read!! Bloody marvelous.  It is the Kiwi way to call a spade a spade but to advertise for prostitutes in a national paper pretty much takes the biscuit.   It's just one of those things that sets New Zealand apart.  To be honest, I like it.  No pissing about, dressing it up as 'escort' or any othet such drivel.  The naked truth indeed!!   

I was particularly taken with the 'flexible' bit - well, you would need to be wouldn't you?!!

Apparently, prositution has been decriminalised in recent years rather that legalised, a bit like cannabis use in Britain I would guess.  But you wouldn't see an advert like:

BOYS

Come and deal drugs for us

Pick your own street corner

Set your own prices

running in a UK paper, would you?

Anyway, just thought I would share that with you, best run along as i am meant to be working!

It was done in my break, honest!!
