Bass player available (joke?)

[Manning]

I can only assume this is a joke - it was posted on the US Craigslist on Feb 4, 2012. Here's a link to the original:
http://jackson.craigslist.org/muc/2835203944.html

The ad reads as follows:

Bass player available for PAYING GIGS ONLY. I play G, C and D. If your songs are not in G, please transpose them into G. If your song has an Em or Bm or something off the wall I will probably sit out that chord. Or I could learn the notes for $30 each. If you want me to do fancy stuff like go back and forth between G and D while you hold a G chord, forget it because I'm a "pocket" player. Minimum $100 per gig within a 5 mile radius of 39302. $5 per mile travel charge for other areas out of town. Please make sure your gigs are on a JATRAN bus route or you can pick me up at my place. Must be home by 11PM due to previous legal hassles. No gigs within 500 yards of schools, parks or playgrounds.

The amazing thing is he doesn't know how to play E.

I think your assumption is correct Manning.

As a bass player I must voice my objection.

$30 to learn a new root and fifth is no where near enough.

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time!

Yes good find.

I only use 58's cause I'm a pocket engineer...
