Wanted: Sex assessor. No experience necessary.

Heartbreak. Just when it appeared that New Orleans was offering the world’s greatest job, it turns out to be nothing but a terribly enticing typo.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports the worst labor news since last month’s unemployment figures:

I am sorry to disappoint all the readers who wished to apply for the position, but New Orleans does not employ a “sex assessor.” That was a misprint in Wednesday’s column. It should have read “tax assessor.” Slips don’t come much more Freudian than that.

We love gumbo, but we hate the media.
