I will fight your boss if you want me to. I'll punch him right in his ugly face if that's how you want it to go down. THAT'S HOW BAD I NEED A TICKET TO BOSTON NIGHT 2 - AUGUST 2ND.

I will not fight your boss if she is a woman. I do not punch the ladies. I also will not hit a female-to-male post-op transgendered individual, that's just not how I roll. But I will be happy to verbally assault them with the colorful language of your choosing, or send them a steady stream of emails containing questionable content that may catch the attention of your IT dude.

I will not fight your parents. No matter how bad they messed you up as a kid, I'm not fighting your parents. OK maybe I can be flexible on that point, I REALLY want to go to this show.

But really, I'm a lover and not a fighter. I would prefer that you sell me your ticket for Eddie Vedder on 8/2 at the Opera House in Boston for cash. Or I could do like an odd-job plus cash combo. Eh? Sounds good, doesn't it - me mowing your lawn for three straight weeks while you sip on the lemonade I made you fresh-squeezed?

Anyway, sell me your tickets. I'll give you a fair price. Thanks for reading this far."

    That's great...!!
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    That might be one of the best ads ever...if I had one, I'd have to see if he would follow through on his end of the deal
