The following ad in the
Melbourne Age newspaper is reported to have received numerous calls:
Single Black Female seeks
male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I
am a very good-looking girl who loves to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your ute, pig
shooting, camping, and fishing trips,
cozy winter nights lying by the fire.
Candlelight dinners will have me
eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch
me
respond.
.
I'll be at the front door when you get home
from work, wearing only what
nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call xxx-xxxx and
ask for Daisy.

Over 5,000 men found
themselves talking to the RSPCA about an eight
week-old black Labrador Retriever puppy.

Hang on there, let me get this down... change a few words here and there... right we have it, my next advert for the 'Lonely Hearts' column! If that doesn't get them, nothing will.

Brilliant, I just hope that Daisy found a new home.

I love that one, but I've also heard it contributed to quite a few American papers and the Humane Society. One time it was even contributed to a greyhound rescue. Weird enough the name of the dog is always Daisy.

Molly's post prompted me to check to see if it's in Snopes. Sure enough.....!

That's so funny Linda, I should have looked it up too, I was toying with sending it to Snopes, guess I'm too late.
