Today's TWISTED LINGUISTICS comes courtesy of Rubber Corn Dog. It's a Craiglist ad for a limousine driver. I'd love to see the applications that came in. Anyway, here's the ad. Read it, and then give your interpretation of what it really is.


Apply only if knowelable, relyable,hard worker, for fulltime or parttime posision contact mark must have proff of DMV report no accendts or traffic volations.


The way I interpret it is, Mark is looking for a hit man. He wants to know that he can rely on his hired assasin and that he'll be able to complete the assignment. Poison is the preferred method of getting the job done, and he'd prefer that a chemistry professor with a driver's license apply for the job. The applicant should have no noticeable accent that would attract the attention of Homeland Security, and he should be even-tempered and not volatile and prone to incidents of road rage. This will keep traffic cops off his butt. If said applicant pulls this first job off satisfactorily, Mark will have plenty more regular work for him.

Mark is not a name, it is a person. It is not capitalized. A "mark" is a target which goes along with your hitman theory. "Contact mark" I think is a code for the actual hit. Scary find.

BWAHAHAHAHA! VE made a funny. That is awesome!

Bilbo said...

I think the ad is only for a short-term position...it's obvious that the individual is only wanted for a brief spell...

Serena said...

LOL @ your #1, VE. Are you talking about... Noooooo, of course you aren't.:D Hey, if you ever get a music player to work on your site, we can all hear your fock song.:)

Yeah, I think you'd be a "c" song, G. You definitely don't do maudlin. I doubt your #5 very much. Nobody would dare do that around you. Your assessment of the ad might be spot on but, dang, I'd want a better educated hit man who'd been driving for at least a month.:-)

You spotted something I didn't, Kan. I wasn't even thinking in terms of marks, though that's exactly what the intended target would be. So, you're a show tune sung by a Muppet? Yeah, I'd pay to see that. Do they let Muppets go to wakes, though?:-)

When you say "for a brief spell," Bilbo, are you interpreting the ad as looking for a voodoo shaman?:)

I'm about as 'love song' as a three-peckered goat in a ewe convent, but I'd definitely be played in a wake..or maybe the diviest of dive bars...
