Hard to Refuse an Offer Like This
The other day I received an offer in the mail.
It was for a discount on my cremation, but, "You have to Hurry!"
Hurry and do what, I wondered:
Vote Republican?
Increase my intake of cholesterol-laden junk foods?
Leap from a tall building with a single bound?
Return the stamped, return addressed envelope with the bonus box for a KristianKremationKit checked? (it has to be spelled with "K's" or we C-average U.S. Regular Mainstream Folk (hey, the whole GOP strategy assumes we are such) can't relate to it.)
Shouldn't be wasting time like this. Gotta Hurry. Or the whole offer will go up in smoke.

Louis,
Some business that is. I just refuse to entertain such mails. Death is not something to be made a joke of.
Hurry up, as in the army, and wait!
Hi Zawi,
Here the idea is to "monetize" everything, and they wouldn't miss the opportunity to "monetize" the most certain market, would they :)?
Ric,
That's an ingenious application of that dictum. Hilarious!
louis,
creative thinking but the situation is totally not correct.

Hi Rizal,
Competition does tend to make businesses innovative, and that may be good for the customer.
In this case, though, as you noticed, it led to a rather bizarre offer, although I trust they didn't really mean for the customer to go and hasten his/her demise :)
I had a good laugh at that thought.
Hi Louis,
It is U.S. of A . . I'm not surprised! So funny lah!
Indeed :)
