How to write
an ad Don't just say it...SHOW THEM Everyone thinks that they have a good sense of humor so by saying that "I have a sense of humor" is kind of the same as the rest of the ads. Make your ad stand out. SHOW them you got a sense of humor with a funny remark. Maybe a unique salutation such as "hey there young gals and dolls thanks for stopping by".
