firefighters ballroom vennThe good thing about Craigslist: it's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations. The bad thing about Craigslist: it's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations.

"I hate exercise, dislike nature, and am terrified of heights..." so she's looking for a hiking partner. Who's out of shape.

Either that, or she just needed something out of her car.

Chivalry: not dead.

Then again, ogling your CPR class partner... not so classy.

A hidden Labatts label is the international sign for "I'm interested, try to find me on Craigslist."
