Summer Entrepreneurship

As regular readers of this blog know, I'm quite proud of my children. They give me good reason to be proud, as evidenced by my son's most recent attempt to find additional employment this summer. Rather than selling his soul to McDonald's or some other fast food outlet, he has chosen to offer assistance to other people helpers. In short, he seeks to aid those who would aid others. What could be more noble?

Here is the advertisement he has placed on KC.Backpage.com:

Are you a massage student looking for someone to practice on?
Have you ever wondered whether your massage skills are good enough, or if your partner is just acting like they're enjoying it?
Do you just enjoy giving massages?

You're in luck. For the summer, this Professional Massage Recipient is in Kansas City, Missouri. For a rate beginning at $20.00/hr (negotiable), he will receive a massage from your hands. Afterwards, if you desire, he will tell you what needed work.

Forcing him to be subjected to aromatherapy is extra.

Females preferred.

Location: Brookside

The boy was obviously raised right, if I do say so myself . . .
