Fortunately, you know me, and I've been privy to some hot leads floating around Tinseltown lately. With any luck, one of these job listings could be your big break, and some schmuck will be lighting your cigar.

Documentary Filmmaker hiring assistant to have sex with.
I believe in honesty: having sex with you is much more important than editing this documentary on the Khmer Rouge. Ideally, I would like to have sex with you in my apartment, specifically on the Murphy bed, and with time permitting, the backseat of my '98 Ford Windstar. Once again, faulty agricultural reform, and Pol Pot's ruthless torture of Cambodians are ancillary compared to our imminent fornication. Assistant will work literally under an accomplished documentarian who, until your employment, spends lonely tear-soaked nights wondering if he'll ever again feel a woman's embrace. Knowledge of Final Cut Pro a plus.
