Missed Connections
SWM TEMP ISO JOB
The
best part of any newspaper is the personal ads. Especially the
"Missed Connections" section.
Missed
Connections are written by people who have had a brief encounter with
someone else, but never got their name or number and desperately want to
get in touch with them. Here's one from SFWeekly:
Trader
Sams Friday (3/2). You: tall, handsome, light colored
hair. Me: dark brown hair, ponytail. We shared a great
smile. Wish we could have met. EXT#143577
These
always seem very unlikely to work, especially since most of them are even
less descriptive and more vague than that one. Why, just look at
these other ads I found in the same paper!
(NOTE:
THESE NEXT ONES ARE NOT REAL ADS, BUT INSTEAD HIGHLY EXAGGERATED HUMOROUS
FUNNY COMEDY ONES I MADE UP BECAUSE WILD EXAGGERATION MEANS FUNNY COMEDY
HUMOR.)
Epcot
Center: You: working in ticket booth, brown hair, freckles. Me:
Tourist, black hair, bought four tickets. Remember? You told
me to enjoy the park and smiled. I did and would love to tell you
about it! EXT#10922
I
Talked To You For An Hour (3/15) You had blonde hair, wore yellow
