I like to read the "Personals" in the classified section of the
newspaper, especially in large cities. For instance, several years ago I found
one in The Atlanta Constitution. The first line grabbed my attention
immediately. "HUSBAND FOR SALE!" it read.
Then the details of the sale followed: "Age 52, in good health. Out of sorts most of the time. Never verbalizes -- 'I love you.' Rare moments of touching and tenderness! Asking price, 2 cents. NOTE: Price negotiable!"
