In Case You Missed It

Thanks to Sheridan Jobbins, (Twitter name @5oh19) for alerting me to the most hilarious comment stream I've ever seen on a job advertisement. What's even better, the stream is still growing - and it's getting funnier all the time. Even Bartleby has had his two bob's worth.

10 comments:

  1. Kept me engrossed for hours when I should have been working...as a text editor

    1. Perhaps you could apply for the job as well? Or perhaps you would prefer not to.

  2. Wonderful - and Bartleby (my hero) is the icing on the cake.

    1. I think there's a plaque down on Wall Street somewhere marking the place where he preferred not to work, but perhaps I'm imagining it. Will have to ask the daughter with whom I went to New York (having a child is like having an external hard drive, when your own memory banks start to get a bit patchy)

  3. thanks for the recommending reading (text advert.)

    The comments are even funnier on second reading (or perhaps you would Bart).

    1. Is Bart Simpson's full name Bartleby by the way?

  4. Might be the first time I've laughed at a comment that ended with "Hitler."

  5. I've been reading these comments for five days. I think I know how to get this job now.
