Continuing the day’s theme, this from Craigslist in their “Best of craigslist”:I’m a fabulously wealthy photographer / artist making money hand over fist. Here’s what I need:
A mechanic to overhaul my custom ’57 Chevy.
A maid to clean my house on a regular basis
A doctor to perform some minor surgery on me.
A band to perform theme music for me where ever I go.
A carpenter and electrician to build an extra wing on my sweet house in East Austin.
A nanny to watch my spoiled kids.
Of course there will be no pay involved. In return for your services you will get FULL CREDIT on my website, AND you can add all of this work to your PORTFOLIO! If you ask me, this is an absolutely awesome deal!
I hope to have you work for me soon!

Sad part is I had two students fall for this, thinking that in the future they would get paid assignments from the magazine. This was even after a HUGE warning from me, and after they had visited this blog.
I’m sad to say that as of yet nobody has taken me up on the offer.
Oh well, there’s always tomorrow…
