One of the contributing writers talks about the time that he posted a phony job listing on a church staffing website. Unbelievably, he had many responses. Here is the exact posting that was made:

I’d be interested to know what exactly “magnificent attire” is. Although I am sure I have some that I am getting ready to sell in our garage sale.
