"CALLING ALL FUN FUNKY PEOPLE"

If by "funky" you mean questionable hygiene standards, then I'm your gal! And if by "fun" you mean weird loner, then call me now!

Why do job ads never call for "languid morose socially inept underachievers"?

Also, the job ad from which I got the title of this blogpost wants "fun funky people" for retail (ok), sales (ok), bar (ok), hospitality (ok) AND CONSTRUCTION (wtf!). Since when does construction require funky. Not that "funky" and "construction" are mutually exclusive (just ask The Village People). But, perhaps, other qualities - fitness, endurance, manual dexterity, familiarity with operating a crane - might be more important. Still, the ability to wear a hard-hat and steel-capped boots with pizazz can't be underestimated.
