WHEN I BECOME FAMOUS
This cranky re-run is from December 2012 |
This holiday season I saw numerous products sold by famous people. What does Justin Bieber know about scents? What does Kim Kardashian know about fashion? Did these people go to fashion school; did they go to “Smelling-good” university? I think they only sell stuff because they are famous. It made me think, what will I sell in case I ever become famous? Here are my ideas:
OLD SPICEY DUDE – A cologne for cranky old men - A musty, dusty, smell with a hint of grandma’s parlor, old cigars and a touch of gas.
CRANKY TEE SHIRTS – A collection of loosely fitted sleeveless white tee shirts with cranky old man sayings in blurry print:
“Help, I’ve fallen and I forget which way is up!”
“I coulda kicked your ass 20 years ago!”
“If found, please return to a young rich lady with big hooters”
CRANKY BIG FOAM FINGER – Never mind the “we’re #1”; this large foam middle digit lets you flip the bird even with arthritic hands.
A COMB-OVER TOUPEE – For old geezers that want to look younger, but still fit in with their crowd.
CRANKY CRANKY OLD DUDE BOARD GAME - Choose your token piece; a walker, a pair of shoes with the laces tied together, or a Li’l Rascal scooter. Roll the die to see who can advance 20 squares and go from your bed to the TV in the den. Watch out for road blocks! “You hit a shag carpet, lose a turn” or “You crapped your drawers, go to the John, do not pass the handicapped ramp; do not collect your SS check."
These are just a few of my ideas to strike it rich. All I need is fame and an agent!
Those all sound like money-makers to me! All you need is an infomercial.
ReplyDeleteWith these, you will be famous in no time! Or should that be, at no time?
ReplyDeleteI heard a great line in a song yesterday - "I think of you every time I drive by a gas station because of all the grease you used to use in your hair." Wonder if it would fit on a t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I feel better about myself. Thanks, Cranky!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine why Steve Jobs gets all the attention with so little going in your direction. Ha! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou ought to be on "Shark Tank"--they'd invest for sure!!
ReplyDeleteNow that gives me something to ponder dude.
