Is there anything on earth funnier than going to the urinal and looking down to see the urinal-attempt-to-hide-the-smell-of-pee-thingy inscribed with the words, “Say no to drugs”? I stand there wondering if anyone has really looked down and read those words while relieving themselves and thought, “You know, maybe this urinal is right. I should have said “No” all of these times. If I only would have used this urinal 10 years, two marriages, and three stints in rehab ago. All I had to do was say No all this time? It was that simple? Thanks for the advice, Mr. Urinal!”
I would have loved to be in on the “Just Say No” marketing campaign meeting when they were trying to decide where they should place the slogan for maximum effect.
Bob: “Hey Ted, what do you think about placement for our ‘Just Say No’ banners? I was thinking college campuses, high schools, billboards, sports arenas, and during Sponge Bob Square Pants. What are your ideas.”
Ted: “Bob, those all sound like pretty good ideas, but wait till you hear this: Bathroom urinals. There is no better place to grab someone’s attention than the little spot on the smell-goody-thing in the urinal.”
Bob: “That’s brilliant! I’ve always thought that the Urinal Mint was an underutilized asset.”
I often wonder what Tina thought about during this meeting. Did she come up with anything for the ladies room? I don’t visit women’s restrooms too often, so I can’t really comment on if there is “Just Say No” advertising in some random spot in the women’s restroom. Maybe some fine ladies could let us know about the advertising campaigns of the women’s restrooms.
