Two much of anything is bad!

Sometimes the only spot of humour in a man’s day is the comic section of the newspaper. And so that is the last page I open before getting ready to diagnose a whole lot of diseases, show images of their babies to their mothers and, obviously, writing this blog.

But I opened today’s paper (I won’t tell you which, you have to guess it now!) I found two beau peeps, two psychiatrists and two colonels staring out at me! Comics may be good, but only to an extent!!

I know reading cartoons is not a man’s job, even if it is his job. I also know publishing a paper is a difficult job, what with sifting through thousands of scantily clad beauties with glasses of God-knows-what (everyone knows) in their hands, going to hundreds of pubs to see what is happening on the IPL front apart from recounting your experience of the world cup final. Also when you are cut-and-pasting, you tend to paste one time two many!

So we have to help out our brethren who are so over worked. As there is usually some amount of free space available, and with the amount of voluntary labour available in the city (we saw it hooking up with Anna Hazare), I have drafted an advertisement for them, gratis, obviously, which they can run and save a lot of hassle for themselves:

WANTED VOLUNTARY PROOF READERS

For a large newspaper, must be willing to work for the satisfaction of

working for a big name in lieu of any other consideration. May have

to sift though a lot of  ‘goss’ to find reading material. But will be 

rewarded with tons of excellent material in stuff we throw away.
