Seen in a headhunter's email I received:
"On the S/W side we have positions from the application level down to the kernel and drivel level."
I know the work gets to be rather mundane at times, but I'd never seen it previously described as drivel!
Job offering humor

Yes, these are amusing. They're written by someone that hasn't the faintest clue what they're writing about.
You wait till you spot one that has 20-years of Windows XP experience. "Do you have 20-year?" "No, I've been using it for about 5." "Oh, well our client is looking for someone who has 20-years experience." "It was only realeased in 2001." "Oh not according to this, their requirements are quite strict, and I would think that they know more than you don't you!!"
Recruitment agencies are a *complete* waste of time.
I applied for one that required 5+ years of .NET experience. Didn't get it. Wonder why. :)
Reminds me of humour in the opposite sense: resume howlers.
One I will never forget:
"Willing to work anywhere in the English speaking world and/or Washington D.C."
