Post the Best of the WORST "Crew Wanted Ads"

A few rules so its enjoyable and semi-organized:

1. All Posts must be accompanied by a LINK
2. All Ads have to be within past 5YRS (hey some old ads are timeless, but lets keep it fairly current)
3. Please put a description of the post and/or block quote or snippit from the ad (make it exciting and point out the humor!)
4. Lets have FUN

Remember: If any Crew Wanted ad made you laugh (or cry) and you saw it on CruisingOutpost, CF, Cruising World, PracticalSailor, Lattitude Mag, Craigslist, eBay, Yachtworld, Boats.com etc -- this is where you can share!!!

How about when Captain Bligh, of Bounty's fame, was set adrift by some of his crew! <I'm sure he wished he had a V8, that day!> Mauritz

"Hi all of you attractive single female sailing enthusiasts! Yes, i am up front about your looks, because i am not only looking for a temporary travel partner but long term relationship and i know what i like! So here goes, under 50 years old, no smoking (cigs), no religious or control freaks and you look good in a swim suit (you are not fat!). if you think im superficial, sorry, but this saves everyone a lot of time. (Also, you might be asked to pitch in a bit financially--shows commitment! im not looking for freeloaders, ill do this solo if i have to, done it before!) im tall dark and handsome, originally from northern california, in pretty good shape and have been sailing the caribbean and the world for over 30 years (im 53). i am losing my hair and need reading glasses so im not perfect either!! "

Hahahhahah

V8 wouldn't help unless he could get fuel for it.
