Starting a new Life-coaching business

What do you think of my first promo? I think the goat looking back at a prospective client as if to say "look at me, I found my footing, how about you? What are you waiting for?" is very effective.

Think I'm gonna go blue collar

If it's good enough for Keitel and Pryor, why not me? Besides, things just aren't looking good for the office worker these days--did you know there are currently 11 books out now about the disappearing middle class? Time to move to a more dependable sector. Can any of y'all see me being a cop? Yeah, I guess that wouldn't work. I've already ruled out garbage man. Vicky said it'd be too embarrassing for our daughter. That's unfortunate because sanitation workers provide a valuable public service. As do mailmen. But I don't think they're hiring these days. If I were a woman, I'd get into nursing. Well, I'll keep thinking about it. Please comment with any ideas you might have.

Check these sick photos I took at the moma last week:

What do y'all think

of this ad for a recently launched chain of nudist clothiers? Is it worth sending to the client? I personally think the leaf as an organic symbol is played-out, but I decided not to break convention considering they're a start-up.

Wait a second--I just noticed a double-meaning that went over my head initially--Organica, meaning the company uses organic fabrics, but also meaning sexual organs! Brilliant, huh?

Wait another second--you know what I also just noticed? The daughter fondling the man's organ. That's unconscionable; I can't be a part of this project. Don't bother with any feedback. I quit!

Last comment: if you click on the photo to enlarge, you'll notice how much fun the dad, daughter and son seem to be having. Now look at the mom. Shock, disbelief, shame, and anger; all written on her face. She's probably already planning her agent's ouster.

RV Show

Growing up, me and the fam would go to this dude ranch every year in Wyoming to meet up with my parents' high school friends and all their kids. It was a long 1,500 mile drive through Nevada, Utah and Colorado. One year during the drive we were having breakfast somewhere in like Winnemucca at a Denny's. My younger sister (she was probably 7 years old at the time) was having a hard time sitting still and wanted to leave the restaurant. My dad looks out of the window and notices a huge swath of RVs parked in an adjacent lot. He had always taken us to those RV shows at the Cow Palace which my sister enjoyed, so this was a welcome diversion. He puts my sister up on his lap and points out to the RV show, telling her to go check it out. She does and comes back within five minutes. Back so soon? She explains that she went into one of the RVs and this guy is getting out of the shower as she walks in. It wasn't an RV show at all, it was an RV park!
