Store Owner: Can I help you, sir? Don’t get many Foreign Legion officers round these parts, you know. Maybe I can interest you in some sun lotion…
Salesman: Well, actually I have an Amazing New Business and I am sure you’d like to see what I’ve got here. Take a gander at these Counter Card Goods!
Store Owner: What in tarnation are Counter Card Goods supposed to be?
Salesman: Well…I don’t rightly know. But I was told that this is part of my Big-Pay Route.
Store Owner: I see. What else you got there?
Salesman: I have 200 products! How about some aspirin?
Store Owner: We sell that already, sir. This is a general store.
Salesman: OK, what about razor blades? Or even better: Chocolated Laxatives! No one can resist a Chocolated Laxative. I know I can’t.
Store Owner: I’m sorry, we have razor blades. And laxatives, both chocolated and plain. We are ready for anything, sir!
Salesman: But – but – we’re supposed to make up to 140% profit on this, both of us! This is an amazing new business – that’s what the World’s Products folks down in Spencer, Indiana, say in their big catalog…[Leaves store, furrowing brow deeply] Can’t think what’s went wrong there. Hmmm. Must be the hat.
"Big-Pay Route"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm holding out for the Extra-Super-Duper-Ginormous-Pay Route.
Do you think this was the start of that store, Spencer Gifts?
When I first saw the words "counter card goods", I thought he was peddling picture postcards. He might have had better luck placing those….
Hairball – I'd like one of those too, please!Tracy – Maybe, I have no idea – I will try and find out (how, I do not know, but I'll try)Tori – Depends on what kind of postcards they were, maybe
wow.. nice work. How many viewers do you have per day?
It usually is the hat…
Do you have any un-chocolated laxative?
filmtub – It's different every day – I'm not sure why more people visit some days rather than others…Grandy – Yeah, it is
scottsabode – No, I don't believe I do.
Ahhhhh, back in the good old days when get-rich-quick-scheme "infomercials" were still in their primitive printed form ;DYour blog always brings such a smile to my face, thank you!!!♥ Jessica
