Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a job ad after smoking pot (or maybe doing ayahuasca)? Well, here's your answer:

Kaspar Hauser may be too straight laced and scientific to recognize literary genius!
The job ad is a work of art. Those of us who do appreciate Twain, Buffet and/or Ellis would think it's pretty cool. Sounds like a fun place to work.

I don't know- I appreciate both Twain and Buffet. Ellis doesn't do much for me, but to each his own.
But in a job ad, however artistic, I'd wanna know a bit more about things like pay, duties, benefits, requirements.
I guess they figure that anybody who's funky enough will write for more details...but I'm pretty funky, and I haven't written.
Or maybe they really suck, and the ability to write this kind of thing is the only thing they have to recommend them.
Who knows?

Sounds pretty accurate. A serious school would market itself seriously, in an attempt to lure in "real teachers."

I'd never apply for the job.
Sounds like the same kind of babble they will give you when the paycheck doesn't arrive on time . . .
Quite taken by themselves no doubt.
Was a fun ad though. |
