sounds like the ad above referenced was in some Pacific pidgin.
The various pidgins are not debased English, but follow definite rules,
specifically selected from English and the/a local language/s.

i suppose i could run down to my friendly local library and attack the
card catalog/microfiche for titles, but can anyone recommend some books
on pidgin/creole languages? post to net.
