One buzz word in today’s business world is MARKETTING
However, people often ask for a simple explanation of “Marketting.” Well, here it is:
* You’re a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, “I’m fantastic in bed.”
That’s Direct Marketting.
______________________________
* You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, “She’s fantastic in bed.”
That’s Advertising.
______________________________
* You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.”
That’s Telemarketting.
______________________________
* You see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, “May I?” and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.”
That’s Public Relations.
______________________________
* You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, “I hear you’re fantastic in bed.”
That’s Brand Recognition.
______________________________
*You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.

* You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you’re passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in bed!”
That’s Facebook.
______________________________
* You are at a party; this old man walks up to you and grabs your ass.
That’s Bill Clinton
______________________________
* You didn’t mind it, but twenty years later your attorney decides you were offended and you are awarded a settlement.
That’s America! and now, Canada !

An old prospector walked up and tied his mule to the hitching post. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the prospector and laughed, “Hey old man, have you ever danced?”
The old prospector looked up at the gunslinger and said, “No,… I never did dance… never really wanted to.”
A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said “Well, you old man, you’re gonna dance now,” and started shooting at the old prospector’s feet.
The old prospector — not wanting to get any toes blown off — started hopping around. Everybody was laughing. When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned to go back into the saloon.
The old prospector turned to his mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air, and the crowd stopped laughing immediately.
The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old man and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.
The shotgun never wavered in the old man’s hands as he quietly said, “Son, have you ever kissed a mule’s ass?”
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, “No Sir… but I’ve always wanted to.”
There are five lessons here for all of us:
1 – Never be arrogant.
2 – Don’t waste ammunition.
3 – Whiskey makes you think you’re smarter than you are.
4 – Always make sure you know who has the power.
5 – Don’t mess with old people; they didn’t get old by being stupid.
