Are you as tired as I am of people dropping political talking points or ad slogans into conversations as if they had just thought of it? I have started dropping things in like, “Well, it is the quicker picker upper,” or “Ask your doctor about Cialis today.”
The next time your boss asks you to do something, just say, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” If you really want to sound smart throw in, “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.”
Here is a good one; “Reach out and touch someone.” Just make sure you are not having a conversation with a priest. How about if you’re talking with your neighbor who is an engineer for NASA, try “Let’s build something together.”
If the conversation turns to the lottery, slip in this one, “We make money the old fashion way….We earn it.” Or if a friend is talking about their recent divorce, just smile and say, “How do you spell relief?” And if someone is confiding in you about their secret sexual orientation, drop in, “Be all that you can be.”
If you are the guest speaker at commencement ceremonies, you can really inspire the young grads with, “A diamond is forever,” and “Sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you don’t.”
The next time a couple of Jehovah Witness’ ring your door bell, greet them with, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
When your child asks if you are going to make it to their 3rd grade Christmas program, smile and say, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”
If you are ever in an elevator with Steve Jobs and he looks pale, nudge him and say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
And when trying to make the big impression on a date with a new girl, sometime during the evening, drop in, “Home of the Whopper.”
Stay tuned for future adventures.
