"WANTED: BOY WAITRESS"

- on window of a restaurant in Baguio, Philippines

someone who knows a sweet lemon from a vegetarian steak
those with nanny experience with the elderly preferred
black Caucasians and graying teens encouraged to apply
you must know everything as we are unwilling to train
someone with experience as a girl husband a plus
