Subject: That's What Marketing Is All About
Now you know why I love my job:
MARKETING EXPLAINED
You go to a party and you see an attractive girl across the
room. You go up to her and say "Hi, I'm great in bed, how
about it?".
That's Direct Marketing.

her and says "Hi, my friend over there is great in bed, how
about it?".
That's Advertising.
You go to a party and you see an attractive girl across the
room. You somehow find her mobile number. You call and chat
her up a while and then say "Hi, I am great in bed, how
about it?"
That's Tele-Marketing.

room. You recognize her. You walk up to her, refresh her
memory and get her to laugh and giggle and then suggest, "Hi,
I am great in bed, how about it?".

conditions for joining the Euro the phrase 'spending a penny' is not to be
used after the 31st of December 2001.
From this date the correct terminology will be 'euronating'.Comment

An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird
dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could
actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by
his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever
believe him.
He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his,
a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him
and his new dog.
As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by.
they fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and
jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink
but instead walked across the water to retrieve the
bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This
continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog
walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it.
The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but
did not say a single word.
On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, "Did you
notice anything unusual about my new dog?"
"I sure did," responded the pessimist. "He can't swim."Comment

The Pope arrives at JFK where he's met at the baggage claim by
a driver in a bad suit and a clip-on tie, holding a hand-
lettered sign that says "Pope". After getting all the Pope's
luggage loaded in the limo, and His Holiness doesn't travel
light, the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on
the curb.
"Hey, Mr. Pope" says the driver in accented English, "Why have
you not seated yourself in this excellent limo?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "They never let
me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive."
"That is very much against the rules!" protests the driver,
wishing he'd never left Calcutta.
"There might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope gets in
behind the wheel. He quickly regrets his decision when, after
clearing the airport, the Pope accelerates the limo to 105 mph.
"Please be driving not so rapidly, Mr. Pope," pleads the
worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal.
Then they hear the siren.
"Oh, my Gods, now I am surely losing my license," moans the
driver. The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the
patrolman approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes
back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. "I need to talk
to the Chief," he says to the dispatch.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's
stopped a limo going a hundred and five. "So bust him," said
the Chief. "I think the guy's a big shot," said the cop. "All
the more reason." "No, I mean really a big shot," said the
cop. "What'd ya got there, the Mayor?"
"Bigger." "Governor." "Bigger." "Well," said the Chief, "Who is
it?"
"I don't know", said the cop, "but he's got the Pope driving
for him."Comment
