#1 it gives new meaning to "cocktails", "highballs"

A sorry day indeed, when giraffes can no longer walk into a bar and shout, "The highballs are on me!"

Pepsi will market the new concoction as: "MOUNT & DO

I fail to see where this will change things in the least for ventriloquists. After all, they'll mount anything.

At least this will lend new cachet to those previously considered as "hard drinkers." However, some things never change. Whatever form impotency cures take, those who have trouble swallowing will still end up with a stiff neck.

#3 A while back, a major pharma company was getting ready to roll out their new product. It was all very hush-hush until they debuted the promo advertisement, announcing the name for the drug to the managers assembled in a theater.

They showed the film, then one junior executive audibly said "Eek!", and put his hand up to tell them why the name for the new drug was not going to be acceptable.

They did not appreciate his explaining to them why the chosen name, which sounded so catchy and was easy to remember, absolutely, positively could not be used.

He had a point. The name of the new drug was "Xyklon".

#4 The name of the new drug was "Xyklon".

Should prove a smash hit in Iran and thereabouts. Built in demand from what I can tell.
