Surprised no one has linked [The Girls of Craigslist](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0913061craigslist1.html) (Safe for work.)

I’ll be joining a monastary now, thank you. That vow of celibacy is looking better all the time

Wouldnt monagomy be better than celibacy 😕

Oh - you are in so much trouble when you get home! 🙂

A lot of them are cops. I’ve seen many a case where a guy learned that the hard way.

Wait…isn’t that entrapment?

“Street mongering”…classic 😃  
One of my friends took on a female roomate. After a couple of months of shady dudes coming over all the time and some other roomate issues, he asked her to leave. She’s like, “ok, I just need to jump on your Internet for a sec…”. Turns out she was a prostitute and needed to change her working address on Craigs List.
