LOVE it…anytime an advertiser can make up a new word and use it in a spot so they’re not *actually* lying (nudge, nudge, wink wink!) then you KNOW they are. Thanks, Dan…great catch!

Gee, I wonder if I can get tickerlets to this show?

@ Stubie: Better hurry. There’s a huge crowd lined up at the box office, and I hear they’re ecstathusiastic.

“They’re lined up in the hallway trying to get in” Translated this means “no one’s here, which is why you hear the echo behind me and not real crowd noise.”

I think Dan can clarify that with just one question, “How many legs does a horse have if you call his tail a leg?”

@ ANONYMOUS: re: horse’s legs: Ah, you’ve been to one of my seminars. I love that question. (Please don’t give away the answer. Make everyone else go to a future seminar…)

Who Owns Whose Words



When you post something on this blog, you retain the right to use your words elsewhere.

I get to use your words elsewhere, too: in a newsletter, book, 3-D hologram, major motion
picture, etc. I'm not saying I will, but it's possible.

But you don't get to take the stuff I write here – even if it's in response to something you
wrote – and use it elsewhere.

Just so you know.

Thanks,
Dan O'Day
