Okay… normally I don’t toot my own horn, but I’m tired of others getting credit for ideas that I came up with first.
Case in point. You’ve probably seen recent commercials for the cell phones coming out with larger buttons and less functions. Cell phones geared toward the older, more techno-challenged age group. You guessed it. My idea! I thought this one up while watching my in-laws fumble with a cell phone that had a microscopic keypad. I even thought of the name – the ‘Easy Phone’, which I think is the actual name of one of the phones being marketed.
Well I’m putting my foot down. No more! From now on when I think of a great idea, dare I say, one that could be life-altering – I’m going to tell you about it first. Then you’ll know that there’s more going on in my pea-sized brain than wondering when I last went to the bathroom.
Here’s the next great idea. I call it ‘Skunk Gum’. And yes… it's just like it sounds – gum that makes your breath stink. You think I’m crazy. I say I’m crazy like a fox. Now I’d like to speak just to the single women out there who are fed up with getting hit on every time they try to go out and relax with the girls. Imagine… you just got off at five after putting in a hard 2-3 hours worth of work. The only thing on your mind is a cold tall one at your local tavern. You can taste the froth on your lips. But then you remember all the icky guys that kept bothering you last time. You know, the retro-throwback guys with the slicked back hair and the partially unbuttoned, nylon, 70’s style shirts. The type of guy that makes you throw-up just a little bit every time you picture him. Well fear no more. Now you’ve got Skunk Gum as your wingman. Skunk Gum won’t let you down. Just pop in a piece and when throwback guy approaches – all you have to do is open your mouth. One good whiff and he’d sooner stick his tongue in a latrine. As you watch the excitement of anticipation leave his body, you can rock back in the chair and laugh.
Skunk Gum – it’s time for you to take control.
Until next time, remember that there’s no such thing as a bad idea – yeah right! J/W
