| Kind hearted co-workers at the HyperDial
Telemarketing Company suggested a personal ad in those classified listings
that keep many freebie newspapers afloat. That tawdry clerk, Antoinette
of the purple pantsuit, three cubicles down, said, "Honey, I met my auto
dealer through an ad. Just look at all the jewelry he's given me." She
shook nine sparkling bangles on her bony forearm. |
| Then the nondescript gal in the
corner called out, "My cousin found three husbands through personal ads,"
which triggered a room full of chatter until the shift finally ended. |
| Madeline actually called the Brunnersville
County Singles Gazette. But the very thought of twenty cents per word!
Not to mention complicated coding for marital status and ethnicity. Certainly
not the best approach for our heroine. |
