My favorites were the ads in the Boston Sunday Globe in the early '80s 
looking for several years of Ada experience. At the time there wasn't a 
working Ada compiler.

We never paid attention to the ads HR would place for programmers until 
one interviewee asked about the requirements like 'able to run copier' 
that they had cut'n'pasted from their office drone template.
