(Happy
Father's Day)
"I don't know the key to
success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
Bill Cosby
Truer words were never spoken.
Neither here nor in Hoboken.
When I wrote what turned out to be
the most famous (and successful) personal ad ever published, a lot of people
asked me if the ad didn't offend a lot of women. I always answer, "Yes, it
did. It offended a lot of fat, ugly women with toxin personalities. Women I did
NOT want to answer the ad." I continue telling them (on this subject)...
"I Concentrated On Selling The
Foxes...
And... Did NOT Worry About Offending
The Dogs!"
