I am reading old circus / carnival trade publications for Reasons and I have to say the classified ads are just Extremely.
Extremely what? I don’t… I don’t know. It was the time when you could decide you wanted to start a circus and just put a classified ad out that basically said “hey, if you’d like to be in a circus, come be in mine. I want a lion tamer specifically (bring your own lion. a big one). Also I need someone who is good at Business. Thanks in advance.”
Honestly expecting sobriety for the kind of people who would reply to that seems like a bit of a reach. Anyway my favorite so far has been the one from W.A. SNAKE KING that just says:
—NOTICE—
WHERE YOU WILL EVENTUALLY BUY
YOUR SNAKES, SO WHY NOT NOW?
With the address given as “Snakeville, Texas.”
The inevitability of snakes.
