You too can draw BDSM artwork!

(taken from RL):
"Son! This is the moment in your life when decisions have to be made! I know you love drawing, you have talent, and you would like very much to become a cartoonist! But unfortunately, this is the time, you have to make the difficult choice between becoming a cartoonist, or becoming an arms dealer! Both choices need the same guts and hard working to succeed, but, believe me, when you succeed, trading weapons earns much more money than drawing cartoons! The day your weapons business will have provided you a more than sustainable bank account, you still can do something with your drawing talents!"
(And you, Lox, did you listen to your father, so long ago? Damn man, you even did not have artistic talents either!)

Son to Father "I want to be a jazz musician when I grow up."
Father to Son "You can't do both, Son."

That's too complicated for my limited brain!
'both' = 'jazz musician' and 'growing up'?
or:
'both' = playing jazz and being a musician?

Never met someone who was both'both' = 'jazz musician' and 'growing up'?

Real indeed. Beginning in 1963, Tareyton cigarettes ran a series of print, TV and radio adds with the slogan: "I'd rather fight than switch (brands)". The ads featured people with "black eyes" - obviously painted on. They were very successful, pushing the brand into the top10 in America
The ads featured both men and women. But, you have to wonder how an add campaign that features women with black eyes would fly today.
Interesting side note: One ad featured a young model named Martha Stewart.
That's right. Homemaking maven, ex-convict and BBF of Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart. In the early 60s, she had a career as model.

How true! But note, no women have liked it - it strikes to close to universal female fear!Some fundamental concepts are timeless

It's well known that sex sells. But shoe polish? In the 1950s, the Griffin company used sex to sell it's Microsheen shoe polish. I don't know if the ads worked. I'm sure they got noticed, but did anyone remember the product?
And, on the subject of using sex to sell: this is an ad for a French anti-smoking campaign.

A reason to be care to assess the driving skills of your future bride (even it not Barb):
"Women are soft and gentle, but they hit things" (boy, does this guy know Barb!)
I, of course, am still restoring one of the great German cars of all time
A 1984 Trabant 601!
I am having trouble finding parts (and translating the ads for parts that are in German!). I was asking one guy from Saxony about a fuel gauge and he just laughed and cut me off! Surprisingly all the ads I've found so far are to sell Trabants or their parts. No one is offering to buy? I guess its time hasn't come yet.
