Advertising!

Advertising is the fine art of convincing people that debt is better than frustration.
Advertising helps raise the standard of living by raising the standard of longing.
Advertising transforms a yawn into a yearn.
Advertising must be effective. The other day my son was saying grace and he thanked God for this daily, slow-rising, butter-crusted, vitamin-enriched bread.One of life's biggest disappointments is discovering that the person who writes the ads for the bank is not the one who makes the loans.
An ad executive's career: Yes sir, No sir, Ulcer.If you think advertising doesn't work, consider the millions of people who now think that yogurt tastes good. (Joe L. Whitley)
You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements. (Norman Douglas)
Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The trouble is, I don't know which half.
(John Wanamaker)
WONDER for YOUR WEEK: Is an epitaph an advertisement for a product that's been discontinued?

Try To Explain women:

Try to explain women

A man dies and goes to Heaven.
He gets to meet GOD and asks GOD if he can ask him a few questions.
"Sure," GOD says, "Go right ahead".
"OK," the man says. "Why did you make women so pretty?
"GOD says, "So you would like them."
"OK," the guy says. "But how come you made them so beautiful?"
"So you would LOVE them", GOD replies.
The man ponders a moment and then asks, "But why did you make them such airheads?" GOD says, "So they would love you!"

Some laughs for all those sour faces out there:

An Excellent Joke

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and says thatherbody hurts wherever she touches it."Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."The redhead takes her finger, pushes on her left breast andscreams, then she pushes her elbow and screams in even more agony.She pushes her knee and screams; likewise she pushes her ankle andscreams.Everywhere she touches makes her scream.The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead, are you?""Well, no" she says, "I'm actually a blonde.""I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is broken."

Acting Crazy
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a leave.

I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing?

I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?"

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days".

I jumped down and walked out of the office.

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her "...And where do you think you're going?"

( You're going love this..... )

She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Irish Wishes

An Irishman is walking along the beach one day, and he sees a bottle laying in the sand. He picks it up and starts to brush it off, and out pops a genie.The genie says, "Since you have freed me from the bottle, I will grant you three wishes."The Irishman thinks for a moment and says, "I'm feeling a might thirsty, I think I'll be wishing for a pint of stout."POOF! There is a pint of stout in his hand. He drinks it down, and starts to throw the bottle, when the genie says, "I'd look at that bottle again before I threw it if I were you."So he looks at the bottle, and it is magically filling back up with stout. The genie told him, "That is a magic bottle, and it will always fill back up after you finish it." The genie then asked, "What other two wishes can I grant for you?"The Irishman looks at the bottle in his hand and says, "I'll be taking two more of these."
