This ad went out on Craigslist's "Platonic" helps wanteds. It also received some interesting replies, which I'll document soon. But first, the ad copy:
Intelligence not required – I’ll do the thinking, you’ll do the heavy lifting. Responsibilities include grunting in happy agreement as I loquaciously describe my plans to conquer the world. Must be ready to stand in awe of the fathomless depths of my intelligence. You’ll be called on to execute (in every sense of the word) my brilliantly conceived plans for world domination. I require only unquestioning loyalty, an encompassing knowledge of and talent for martial arts and a complete willingness to use those skills in the deadly pursuit of my fiendishly clever plots, world-domination-wise. Must be tolerant of my extravagant reliance on adverbs and run-on sentences. Knowledge of esoteric weaponry (derbies that kill, exploding waffle irons, poisonous canaries) a must. You’ll be expected to smile enigmatically while staring at my various adversaries as you prepare to kill them. Equal opportunity employer
