THis is so true!!! and I imagine back then it was really the truth!!!
A little old lady from North Carolina had worked in and around 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 the
1940s)
she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan: a rhyme
beginning with "Carnation Milk is best of all...."
She said to herself, "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 won't be able to use
your slogan."
Her entry was:
Carnation milk is best of all,
no tits to pull, no shit to haul,
no buckets to wash,
no hay to pitch,
just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!
A-YEP!!!
