Before I started temping I would I apply for a lot of jobs on craigslist. Now that I am semi-semi-gainfully employed, I find it fun to make light of the job search and send fake emails to positions posted on craigslist. Here’s one such exchange.
First the post:

Greetings,
I am writing to apply for the Captain/First Mate Position on
Craigslist.org. While I have no experience on the high seas per-se,
I believe I posses several qualities that make me ideally suited for
sea life. I generally like to be drunk and from many pirate movies I
have seen (not really that many, but enough to form an opinion) this
Is a necessary quality. Secondly, I have not a treacherous bone in my
body. I would never, ever, ever foment a mutiny against my dastardly,
stinking, one-eyed captain. In addition my slender figure would look
excellent in drag, providing my lonely male mates something close to
female companionship. I shall work cheaply, perhaps a shilling or two
for my troubles each day along with a enough turnips to fill my belly.
My resume and references are available upon your request.
Thank you,
Sean Hart
