Now is only your screen was 3D. |
Of course there are a few exceptions. Purchasers of the mouse pad include creepy older businessmen, gag gifters - 50% at least - and awkward college students. I can only imagine how an anatomical mouse pad could heighten the Internet porn viewing of a lonely college freshman in a darkened dorm room. That just sounds like a match made in masturbation heaven.
Now with all that background, you can imagine my total surprise when I sold one of these mouse pads not to an acne prone teenager, but to a 75+ year-old woman. Yes, I actually managed to sell one of our endowed mouse pads to a female senior citizen who couldn’t wait to get that thing on her desk.
Available in your choice of skin tone! |
This woman was generally excited about her purchase and prepared me for it being a hit at her assisted living facility.
“All the ladies will be in here next week getting their own!”
I love old people; they just don’t give a fuck what people think of them. It’s refreshing. That’s why I’m fully prepared for a barrage of support hose, canes and short perms to be busting down the doors of Hooters for a booby mouse pad. They’ll be talking about them at quilting clubs and card tables and 5:00 p.m. suppers. I feel a fad coming on.
Have I mentioned I freaking love old people? Oh, I have. Well I still effing do.
Too funny. I need one of those. For the wrist support.
ReplyDeleteBottle koozies and playing cards were always easy sells. The stupid collector pins were the bane of my existence. A few of them "got lost" after I had inventoried them a dozen times.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling a funny gift coming on for my beloved FIL [80 yo] this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI may win this year. [in the funny gift giving category]
Thanks Sauce. It has been sixteen years, but I feel this is my breakthrough year. And my lovely MIL will LOVE it too.
I work at a Hooters in Michigan. Today I waited on the cutest old couple I've ever seen. They both had to be at least 75, and both had accents. It was their first time in Hooters, and absolutely LOVED it. They were so open minded and none judgemental. You're completely right about old people. They are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHere is why older people are cooler: in "middle age" people are still pressured and insecure. Once they get older, it's time to make peace, relax and enjoy yourself. You can see why the latter state of mind fits in a lot better at Hooters.
ReplyDeleteLMFAO That is TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!
