What is Marketing? - Best Joke Ever (For Marketers Anyway)

This joke makes me laugh every time I read it so I thought I’d share.

Before I get your hopes up too high, just keep in mind I’m a big dork…

What Is Marketing?

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, “I’m fantastic in bed.” — That’s Direct Marketing.

You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, “She’s fantastic in bed.” — That’s Advertising.

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.” — That’s Telemarketing.

You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. You get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, “May I,” and reach up to straighten his tie brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.” — That’s Public Relations.

You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.” — That’s Brand Recognition.

You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. You talk him into going home with your friend. — That’s a Sales Rep.

Your friend can’t satisfy him so he calls you. — That’s Tech Support.

You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you’re passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated toward the center and shout at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in bed!” — That’s Spam.

If you have any one liners you’d like to add, go for it - I’d love to read ‘em.

Presidential Debate Drinking Game

I don’t really get too fired up about politics.  In fact, politics tends to piss me off so I’ve found that ignoring them is best for me.

However, since there’s less than a month to go before the election (as I’m typing this) I’m finding myself at least paying a little attention.

However, this just makes me more pissed off.

Today, however, I’ve come up with the solution to my problem (and really, the solution and cause of all of life’s problems)… ALCOHOL.

So here is my twist on how you should play a presidential debate drinking game… special thanks to John Carlton for helping inspire this.

The Rules:

Pick your horse (trust me, you don’t want to ride the fence as you’ll see in a moment)

This is a game played with shots… of whiskey (Wild Turkey recommended)

This is really a simple game best played with fans of both candidates.

Here’s all you do… whenever you think the other candidate is lying, take a shot.  For example, if you’re a fan of McCain, then whenever you think Obama just lied, you take a shot.

That’s it!

Note:  If you haven’t decided who you’re voting for yet, then you have to take a shot when you think either of them are lying.  So if you like to drink, indecision is a good thing.

Now, for those who want some other games with more drinking opportunities, here are some rather detailed ones (personally, I think they have way too many rules… remember during drinking games you tend to get drunk)
