At the pool this weekend, Alan and I each floated around lazily on a styrofoam water noodle. You know what I’m talking about, right? One of these things:
The water noodles are the awesome yellow things supporting my equally awesome parents.
Let’s talk about how awesome they are. They are simple, yet they support your entire body weight, making it possible to sit, stand or just float without expending any effort. We got to talking about how much weight they could support, and Alan noted that we may be pushing the single-noodle limit.
It was about this time that I said that if I were the manufacturer, I would sell a larger noodle, and I would call it the “Super Noodle.”
And the slogan would be:
The Super Noodle: for Super People!
Except, to make it funny, I would actually want the slogan to read:
“The Super Noodle: for Super (Big) People!”
Do you see what I did there, with the subliminal (big) reference? Makes it funny, doesn’t it?
I asked Alan how many I would sell. “A lot,” he guessed. But then he went on to add, “Skinny people would buy them.”
And you know what? I think he’s right. Super Noodles and Diet Coke.
Go figure.
