The Contest!!!!!!
This lady had been married to a farmer all her life. They had cows
and
horses on their farm and also grew a number of crops for sale at the
local
farmer's market. While shopping at the local grocery store for a few
items
that she and her husband did not raise or grow for themselves, she
came
across a contest form while she was in the store. It was from the
Carnation
Milk Company and the object was to complete a jingle in fifty words
or less.
The Company furnished the first line of the jingle with these
words, "I like
Carnation best of all......." and it was about those little cans of
milk
found on grocery store shelves.
So she completed their jingle and sent it off to the Carnation Milk
Company.
A couple of months later, the woman was surprised when a man from
Carnation
Milk came to her door and told her that her entry was the best one
submitted. However it was unfortunate the company could not publish
it. In
lieu of that latter fact, they had decided that her entry was worth
at least
a consolation award and provided her with a company check in the
amount of
$1000 for creativity. Here is her entry:
"I like Carnation best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul
No barns to clean, no hay to pitch
JUST PUNCH A HOLE IN THE SON OF A BITCH."
