Prepper Advertises for Fertile Partner for Ebola End Times

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2014/10/16/love-the-time-ebola-single-male-seeks-fertile-apocalypse-companion/nHLUyMntNMYyZxCCZy9qdN/story.html

You've gotta read this one. Seriously.



If you’re a fertile, single woman who fears Ebola, knows your way around a gun, and you aren’t turned off by an “average” body, today is your lucky day.

A Craigslist personal ad, titled “Escape the Apocalypse with me” and published late Tuesday night, promises a life after the impending Ebocalypse.

The ad was posted by a 36-year-old survivalist suitor who has spent a decade planning for the end of days, and has what appears to be a solid plan for doing so.

“Ebola is about to break loose in America. It’s already in Dallas and Atlanta. Boston will be its next stop I am sure and soon airplanes, taxis, and the T will not be safe.”

All other things being equal, though, I agree with you. There are easier ways.

The romance is almost unbearable.

'an average body' likely means obese. You want those skinny preppers, your canned goods in the bunker will last far longer

After the can goods run out, who do you want around? A lean prepper gone all stringy or a chubby prepper slimmed down?

Remember, a good steak requires some marbling.

So there is some small hope that after the apocalypse, as he emerges - alone - from his shelter and discovers he is alone, his final diary entries will be grammatically correct.

"Angela won’t be hearing back from the Craigslist prankster, who said he will not pursue the ruse. He would not reveal his name, but he did confirm that he is 36-years-old and has been working out to turn his physique from “average” to something a bit better. He is married, middle class, and has children. His fake personal ad is the result of many bored evenings watching the media obsess over Ebola, “giving it more playtime than heart disease, which is ridiculous.” His prank came after weeks spent seeing what he called bogus posts blaming politicians for the alleged Ebola outbreak on sites like Foxnews.com."

My kinda smartass.
