Thanks for posting.
Chelsea,

I did not apply for that job, but once, a hundred and fifty years ago, I applied for a receptionist job at a car dealership. When the guy wanted to hire me, he actually said to me, "You are 'cute' enough to be on the front desk, but you are not 'the type' who is so good-looking that you will cause the mechanics to try to hang around you all day and not get any work done."

Now, Chelsea, I ask you...WTH was that supposed to mean????? Geez. Can you imagine somebody saying that nowdays?

Anyway, I translated it as, "Your face is OK, but you are not built like Jennifer on WKRP in Cincinnati."...although my interview was before that show started even, I knew what that guy meant.

So what did I do?

I walked out on him and went to college.

And back to the headlines, they are so much funnier than anything anybody could ever write on purpose. Thanks again, MMC24.
