Aspen Entertainment

In the classified ads of our local paper:

Ironing.
Old Snowmass family looking for someone to iron 2 days a week 5 hours each day. $20.00 per hour. Please fax resume to 927.7641.

Are you kidding me? You can't make up this kind of stuff! First, what family needs 10 hours of ironing? Secondly, and this may be a huge stereotype, but would someone looking to iron 10 hours a week necessarily have a resume? "Previous job experience: Ironed 15 hours a week for family in Paris, France."

(While I try to embrace the extreme absurdity of Aspen, I have to think that perhaps this is all a scam. Is "ironing" a secret code for some other desired service or item? Or, maybe I've been watching too much James Bond.)

Completely bizarre and hilarious.
