why I read the classified ads
March 18, 2009
I am convinced that the best story ideas come from the classified ads. Like this one, from yesterday's Daily Star:
I'm tempted to call to find out if anyone has claimed the rooster yet -- or if the family has just decided to build a new garage and let the beast keep the old one.
Hm, sounds like dinner to me . . .

The sad thing is, if the right people had been in the right moods, this WOULD have already been a story and not just a classified ad. Such is life.
