Something To Think About

Tweet

I have another funny story I thought youall would like to read. Actually, like the title says, it is something to think about. I saw it in the yellow pages of a telephone book from a small town between here and Birmingham several years ago. I was thinking about moving to this town at one time but I'm glad I didn't have to move after all. Some of youall may have heard this story. It was the first time I had ever heard it when I first got this phone book: "Why is it? A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an advertised bed, in advertised pajamas. He will bathe in an advertised tub, wash with advertised soap, shave with an advertised shaving cream, eat a breakfast of advertised juice, cereal, and toast (toasted in an advertised toaster), put on advertised clothing, and glance at his advertised watch. He will ride to work in an advertised car, sit at an advertised desk, smode advertised cigarettes, and write with an advertised pen. Yet this man hesitates to advertise saying that advertising doesn't pay. Finally, when his unadvertised business goes under, he will advertise it for sale". I thought it was pretty cute, myself, lol. It reminded me of my daddy, in a way. He didn't think advertising paid for a long time. However, he decided to advertise he had something for sale one time and whatever it was (I don't remember now), he got rid of it.
