Here are a selection of personals ads from a variety of sources.

I'm younger than Methuselah, better looking than Quasimodo, taller than Tom Thumb and in better physical shape than a 200 year old man. Most of the body parts I still retain are mostly functional. I have a face made for radio, and a voice made for silent movies. My IQ is higher than my body temperature.

Some of my favorite activities include: eating regularly, and living indoors.
