A little old lady from Newfoundland had worked in and around her
family
dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard
work and little compensation. When canned Carnation Milk became
available in
grocery stores in approximately the 1940's, she read an advertisement
offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme
beginning
with "Carnation Milk is best of all...." She said, I know all about
milk
and
dairy farms... I can do this!
She sent in her entry, and about a week later, a black limo drove up
in
front of her house... a man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your
entry so
much, we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not be able
to
use
it...."
Here is her entry:
Carnation milk is best of all, No tits to pull, no hay to haul.
No buckets to wash, no shit to pitch, Just poke a hole in the
son-of-a-bitch.
