4. Advertising is strange |
|
I was in a laundromat one day and happened to notice a box of hangers. Printed upon it was the company's name and motto - "a better hanger for every occasion." Which got me thinking - is it really considered an "occasion" when you use a hanger? And what makes theirs better? They looked like any hanger I've ever seen - metal, with a hook on top. Nothing exciting there.
You think about strange things in laundromats...

Dead Milkmen - Laundromat Song (1--2--1-2-1.2.3.4) Soap and quarters and bleach and laundry Are words I use at the laundromat Reading the news, and watching the people That's what I do at the laundromat At the laundromat my heart grows fat Ah Ah As my clothes get dry I stop and sigh Ah Ah Dreaming -- Screaming There's a girl washing her clothes I'm in love but nobody knows She looks sixteen or seventeen My mind grows dirty when my clothes get clean She's so young and tall Ah Ah I'm gonna give her my ALL (or BORAX) Ah Ah Dreaming -- Screaming I'm not a subtle guy I'll go to her and sigh "If I don't see you again my love I'll most surely die." Dreaming -- Screaming Clothes go round and round And my heart goes up and down She's drying her jeans In separate machines She's loading up her granny cart Ah Ah Goin out the door; it's breaking my heart Ah Ah

That just means "book stores" as opposed to "the magazine rack at Wal-Mart"

7. Probably what they mean |
|
They're the ones who carry their book. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy - if it's better, their book is there. If their book is there, it's better.
