Purple Squirrel jobs 2

[2dye4]

Heard on NPR a story about companies posting jobs with ridiculous requirements that would be impossible to find.
The trade name is apparently a "purple squirrel" as in company A is looking for a purple squirrel.

The main feature is that the company really doesn't need the person, they are just fishing for this ideal in case it shows up.

Take away lesson is there is no need to really apply to these jobs or waste your time on them.

Jobs posted for more than a year with outlandish requirements aren't for real.

When will the economy pick up so real need materializes.

And now I just read on the Internet about a bunch of inbred hillbillies that are all blue tinged.... Go figure

Curiously, about a decade ago I knew a guy in Williamsport (20 min. or so from Jersey Shore) that had a pet squirrel. The squirrel's name was Rocky, and I believe that before all was said and done, Rocky had been dyed purple. Unconfirmed rumors also said that Rocky had dropped acid once or twice. No, I didn't have anything to do with either occurrence-- I only met Rocky once, and he was grey and non-hallucinating then. I wonder if this guy is up to his old tricks with dye. I also wonder if any squirrels are tripping balls in Pennsylvania...

Oddly enough, there are white squirrels out there too:
