Wow, where to start with Charles Haeberle, who has taken out an ad offering $5,000 to any woman who would agree to marry him. Paid in installments. Yes, after years of searching for love in bars, churches, and on the Internet—the worst places on earth to pick up women, by the way—Charles has resorted to full-on bribery. Which isn’t so bad, really. There are people on Craigslist right now who would spend more to do much worse.
