Snipper job

A guy goes into the employment office in Columbus.  Not many jobs and it doesn’t take him very long, of course.

Then, just as he’s about to give up and go away, he spots something.

“Wanted”, it says.  “Single man, willing to travel, must have own scissors.  $500 a week guaranteed, plus company car and all expenses.”

Well, it sounds a bit too good to be true, but he makes a note of the reference number and fronts up at the counter.

“I’d like to apply for this job”, he says, “reference number E/784/B46”

Oh, that one,” says the clerk. “It’s a model agency right here in Columbus.  They’re looking for a pubic hair snipper.

You see, they supply girls who model underwear and bathing suits, and before they go on the catwalk they report to you and you have to snip off any wisps of pubic hair that are showing.  It pays well, but there are a few drawbacks.  It involves quite a lot of travel.  The Bahamas, Tahiti, Paris, London, that sort of thing, and you have to get used to living in first-class hotels…”

“I reckon I could learn to live with it,” says the fellow.  “I’d really like to apply for the job.”

The clerk shrugs and says, “OK, here’s an application form and a bus ticket to Middletown.”

“Middletown?  What do I wanna go to Middletown for?”

“Well”, says the clerk, “that’s where the end of the application line is at the moment.”
