The Marketing Meeting
—"We need this product to make bald men feel hip. Ideas?"
*papers rustle*
—"Anyone? You there, Throckmorton. What do you think?"
—"Er, well . . . adding a '-z' to the end of a name gives it instant credibility with trendy young people. For example, Bratz—"
—"Throckmorton, you're a genius!"

Define "fresh."
I meant to ask this at the counter . . .
but when I got there I was too petrified.

Happy Valentine's Day
"For Valentine's Day, nothings says 'I love you' like affordable, reliable trash service!"
As my friend Donna said, "Nothing's more tragic than unrecycled love."
What a great ad.
You'll find my books in the "Anti-Optimism" section. :)
So there's twin girls who are complete
opposites. One girl is a militant pessimist, while her sister's an eternal
optimist.
For their birthday, the twins’ mother gives the pessimist
every imaginable toy and game—but the optimist only gets a massive pile of
horse manure. (Just play along, OK?)
This causes bitter weeping from the pessimist. “Why are you
crying?” the mother asks.
“Now I'll have to read all these instructions, and all my
friends will be jealous.”
But the optimist twin is dancing for joy on the pile of
manure. “And what are YOU so happy about?” the mother asks.
“You got me a pony!”
