Advertising Revenue

While waiting in the store to be waited on, I accidentally happened to notice the young woman standing nearby. Her back was to me and as I glanced over I noticed that she was wearing shorts that had "Oak Island," in bold letters, across her butt. I studied the message with care as it prompted the idea for this blog.

Now I haven't ever had a message printed on my butt (with or without shorts). The idea, however, may have merit. My tee shirts, emblazoned with witty comments, do not seem to attract much attention. Maybe butt messages (BMs for short) would work better.

Since I have an aversion to providing free advertising to anyone or anything - even an island - my brainstorming led me to a concept that could earn money. As I perused the young woman's message (I'm a slow reader), I thought about potential advertisers. Some soon came to mind and then I had an even more brilliant idea - shape the message to the medium or more accurately its size and shape.

Think about the derriere that would sport the words "Food Lion." And their competition, "Lowes Foods." Products such as "Plumber's Friend" could certainly find an outlet here. The potential is huge.

As for me, how about "Clap ON, Clap Off" or, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up."
And my wife might suggest "Where's the beef?"

Surely you can suggest some clever ideas. I have to go, the young lady is now glaring at me.
