This one ...

Quote:
The client sent an email campaign to a list of 74,000 customers with every link in the email being a one-click unsubscribe.

Or at least that what a Social Media Expert "tweets" that he earns. The currency is Zimbabwean Dollars ....But we don't mention that only because Twitter has a strict character count.

Oh my God! I've just spent...a long time... at that site and my jaws are sore from laughing. And just when I think there could be no more...there is more.
Here's a favorite (just swap "VO" for "design"):

”Since you have over-bid our project, can you recommend anyone who has your exact same design skills and client facing abilities for half the cost?”

Ooohh, I just saw another gem:

I can’t pay you anywhere close to your normal hourly fee, but it’ll be quantity work so you’ll still make out in the end.
