So I'm reading the Menard's ads, |
|
(think Home Depot) and I notice that at the bottom of each page they have kindly printed an inspirational message:
-"Every day is a new beginning." -"Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction." -(On the bottom of the page advertising pop-up sprinkler heads,) "Time is a miracle and the right to live is a gift. Celebrate being alive." -"the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the that little extra." ??? -"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." What?? -"Literature is the orchestration of platitudes." As if they even know what "platitudes" means. -"All you need to be is you. Your true self shines with more beauty that your eyes can see." and -"Bulbs sold separately unless otherwise indicated."
Wtf is this crap? Chicken soup for the hardware shopper's soul? Wierd.

"Save big money! You'll save big money! Save big money at MENARDS!"
Stupid Menards story:
My husband, my brother, and I and our sleeping children were driving back to St. Paul from St. Cloud late one night. We were all feeling a bit punchy, simply because it was so late. As we drove past a Menards on the freeway, my brother shouted, for no apparent reason, "Menards!"
My husband said, "What?"
My brother shouted again, "Menards!"
My husband laughed.
I, cranky, answered, "What the hell do your nards have to do with anything?"
I'm surprised he didn't drive us into a ditch.
