Help a 'Clean, Responsible Early 20s Couple' from Kentucky

My favorite Craigslist post of the day, titled “$700 Kentucky couple needs a few weeks to get established”:

Hello everyone! We are a clean, responsible early 20s couple looking for a temporary sublet loosely in the time frame of July 14th-August. We have just arrived (two days ago) from Lexington, KY, which just wasn’t San Fran enough for us. I (Jabriel) was recently alerted to the declining health of a close family member, so we began our journey earlier than we expected, leaving us with virtually no place to stay once we arrived.

The budget we’re working with is $700/mo, but we would be willing to talk about higher costs-so long as it would not be an e-mail/internet conversation. Phone calls are appreciated. We are liberal and non-biased, so anyone worrying yourself with prejudices/ hatred- you are looking in the wrong area. We are willing to share a house with you REGARDLESS of your race/gender/sexual orientation. We are not very picky about size/space- all we ask is for a quieter, drug-free environment somewhere in SF to stay long enough to save up for an apartment. This should not take any more than 2-3 weeks, since we are a working couple. I will provide a picture, to show we are not the people on the neighborhood watch signs, nor pictures under any WANTED ads in your local grocer. If you have any questions about our personality or compatibility, feel free to call us at (859) 227-7216, or e-mail. Thank you dearly for taking the time to read through this. We bid you a wonderful day, and hope to hear from you soon!

-Jabriel & Paige

I like how in the accompanying four-year-old picture they provide, they already kind of look maybe older than early 20s. But it’s tiny and blurry so we could be wrong. Anybody gonna lend a hand? Or at least give ‘em a phone call?

    2 things:

    1. “Jabriel”?

    2. The headline makes it sound like you can buy the couple for $700. Even at that price, I’ll have to pass.
