A subtle theme seems to have seeped through the day today. Well, mostly just the last few hours, but nevertheless, coincidences of a toilety nature in fairly recent succession never sit well with a person.
First, while searching for a hotel in Ashland, I accidentally went searching for...well, something else. A town I certainly hope doesn't exist! Then, while reading a book at dinner the author released information from a story about some young person urinating on the wall at some youth retreat. And to finish the job I actually read an advertisement on a urinal mat!
I mean, honestly. Have we really sunk so low as to advertise (for alcoholic beverages no less) in a toilet?! In the advertisers' defense it certainly does shows a lot of respect for their company.
"Hey guys, I think we have one of the greatest products on the market, don't you? [Hearty agreements from the crowd.] Then let's really show our worth with this next advertising campaign. We need something that will flush all our competitors out of the running. If we believe in this product we should shower it with great ideas. Let's think of something that will get people streaming in the doors here. I don't want one of these shallow-reaching promotions that only sprinkle the population here and there. I want something, great; a downpour of creative thought! [Here, here's and cheers from the group.] Now what could we do that would blow our competitors out of the water? ...Hmm...

...Eureka! Urinal mats!
But I suppose I should let my readers be the judges.
