Re: HA! That CL Hire A Hack Ad...
I posted the "hire a hack" ad in my area but I did not care to receive any messages from it. I omitted the email feature in my ad.

Re: HA! That CL Hire A Hack Ad...
Take the jobs, destroy the place, leave an upper decker in the bathroom, impregnate their daughter, and drive off into the sunset with all their beer. Then file a lien for non-payment.
Repeat as necessary. |

Re: HA! That CL Hire A Hack Ad...
Both of those replys are obviously cut an paste emails from somebody blanketing craigslist looking to sign you up for Amway or something. They don't sound like responses to your ad.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...m=Upper+Decker upper decker The act of defecating in the upper tank of the toilet. When the next poor unsuspecting person flushes the toilet they get a bowl of beef stew. the upper decker is a weapon of terror and should only be used on people who deserve it. My friends x-girl friend had a party and she left whith some other dude who looked like the fonz "Heyyy!". So I took it upon myself to leave her an upper decker

Re: HA! That CL Hire A Hack Ad...
I wish I had known about the upper decker in my younger days. We used to take all of the food out of peoples freezers and hide it around the house. Pork chops in a drop ceiling was always a favorite.
