Cheap, Silly Entertainment

I used to enjoy reading the "Crossed Wires" section of the Houston Press personal ads, but at some point the section was discontinued. Basically, the section contained ads from people who had passed each other, and then regretted not speaking, along the lines of "You: Red shirt and cute smile at West Gray Kroger on 5/23; we discussed dog food. Wish I had asked for your number." The ads always amused me because most were so general they could have referred to hundreds of people on any given day.

Anyway, Callie tells me the ads are still in the online version of the rag. I wonder how many of them are for real?
