During a routine cleaning-out of old emails at work, I came across one that I sent back in December, 2002. The moral of the email: read the packages on your office supplies, `cause you never know where awesomeness will be found. Here it is -->
I was sitting here this morning, trying to sign onto my computer without much luck. My bored eye wandered to my box of rubber bands, noticing the quite lengthy text on the side of the box. This is what it reads, in part:
`More than three quarters of a century ago, Bill Spencer founded Alliance to bring order to the chaos of newspapers blowing down America's streets. From there, he tamed teams of lobster claws into gentle submission and wrangled fields of broccoli and green onions into tidy bundles for the greengrocer's shelves. Office workers watched in awe as he harnessed their flooding files. Cabdrivers praised him as he snapped scattered maps and receipts to their visors. And finally, his daughters smiled as he made delicate pigtails of their unruly hair. All this with his simple and humble device, the rubber band.'
Top that off with my favourite of the bold, bulleted selling points:
--> Softer Stretch - Less Wear and Tear on You and Your Bundle
and you have to wonder why Norman Rockwell didn't do a series of nostalgia paintings of this proud, heroic American, who brought order to a chaotic world (or at least seriously p-o'ed everyone around him off with his super-type-A personality).
