They Call Me Naughty Lola is a testament to the creativity
and humor that can still be found among men and women
longing for love and allergic to the concepts of Internet
and speed dating. Here is an irresistible collection of the
most brilliant and often absurd personal ads from the
world's funniest -- and most erudite -- lonely-hearts
column. The ads have been called "surreal haikus of the
heart," and in an age of false advertising, the men and
women who write them are hindered neither by high
expectations nor by positivism of any kind. And yet, while
hopes of finding a suitable mate remain low, the column has
produced a handful of marriages, many friendships, and at
least one divorce.
