I always liked the newspaper ad that Shackleton posted for his expedition to the South Pole: Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success Supposedly, 5,000 men applied after reading the ad. - Note: historians can't find the ad, it might be a myth, but I still like it
