And this is pretty good too, until you get to the text. Then it's more laughing at, instead of laughing with.

MUSIC VIDEO CASTING JULY SHORT STATURE PEOPLE FEMALE ENTERTAINER

We are looking for an attractive woman of small stature (4' or smaller) to appear juxtaposed with a taller women (she is approximately 5'9") to demonstrate the musical concept "contrast".

Minimal 'acting' is required for this part, however, enthusiasm, energy and the ability to take direction would be a great asset. We intend to provide 'wardrobe', however, we welcome personal selections, if the selected 'actor' can provide some of their own wardrobe might it may enhance and facillitate the costuming of her 'character'. (The look should be somewhat "glamorous" without being overtly provocative, please!)

FOUR feet? Under FOUR feet? And just... what?

To demonstrate the musical concept of contrast. Duh.

But..... !

Also, why do "glamorous" and "contrast" get double quotation marks and everything else gets a single quotation mark?

And by "everything else," I really do mean "everything else."

Did you catch the part about this being for an instructional DVD on harmonica playing?

All better now?

Ah. NOW it all makes sense.

??!?!?!?

High note: Picture tall woman. She is approximately 5'9". She is an 'actor'.

Low note: Picture SHORT STATURE PEOPLE FEMALE ENTERTAINER. She is no more than 3'11". She is also an 'actor', in 'wardrobe', and she is anything but overtly provocative.

See? Contrast.

I don't get it. The link is an ad for an Environmental Field Supervisor (Sacramento). The text seems pretty straightforward. Are you referring to the hazmat email address?

Heh. Sorry, desjardins. What struck me as funny was the (totally legitimate) phrase "must have 40 Hour Haz Woper Certification."

It just seemed unintentionally LOLcat. Because 'haz' is certainly not proper in any other context!
