Resisting my nature!

“Advertising: The science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it”.
-Stephen Leacock


Recently I saw a business sign that indicated that the vender had “really comfortable nursing uniforms “for sale. 

Now personally my first response was not to walk in and check out the latest and greatest in uniforms, it was to wonder that since they needed to state such an obvious selling point would they also have a line of really uncomfortable uniforms just in case a discriminating niche market customer like me was to walk in.

I was so tempted to stroll in and ask for something in the way of hair shirt scrubs just to watch what their reactions would be. But my better angels won the day.
