Crawford of Gorefiend posted a pretty amusing post recently on the official forums: Dalaran Classified Ads. The post lists a variety of help wanted, services offered, and even personals ads from various personalities around Azeroth. There's some pretty amusing ones in the mix. Inspired, I thought I'd come up with one or two myself:
HELP WANTED: Day Laborers for bridge construction. Must bring own tools, or recover stolen tools from Murlocs. Payment is 2 armor patches a week plus all the Sauteed Sunfish you can eat. Work hours very flexible. Contact Oslow at Lakeshire, Redridge. Projected completion time TBA.
It's not that great, admittedly, but hey. For some real good ones, check out the post.

not sure if this was done, if so sorry ^_^
Landscapers/Damage control experts wanted
Landscapers/ Damage control experts wanted to help fill in Dalaran crater before DEHTA's charges press through (like a few dead murlocs are THAT big of a deal). Pay is all of the underbelly exiler you can carry! Please bring your own Goblin Damage absorber if not a mage, and If a mage please spec into magic absorbtion (The effects of moving a city leave some radioactive sigils behind). If interested please contact Rhonin at Dalaran.

Would've been funnier if it was half the length and didn't have all the asides.

As an aside, I've always though this was one thing that the game needed. The ability to set requests to be filled by other players though a classifieds type system.
Players could enter a request. If that request requires payment, the system would hold the money unil it was closed or payed out to responders.
Something like:
Seeking to fill out old reputations, paying gold for your wanted sigils, marks, bijous and more. Specially interested in Ravenhold reputation lock boxes.
Then you can set the system to pay out for certain items and players can farm that stuff for you while you focus on more important things. Let's face it, not everything you want can be found at the AH

I think Blizz sees the AH and 2. Trade
as filling this need. I'm with you though: a community bulletin board system in-game would be kinda nice.
