Britney, Madonna and Aguilerra - with due apologies
This is an old one but to be take in light humor.....okay here goes..... Due to a mix-up on Grammy night, Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilerra are forced to share a private jet in order to arrive in time for the ceremony.
Once up in the air, Madonna pulls out a $1000 bill and says "I'm going to throw this $1000 bill out the window and make someone down below very happy."
Not to be outdone, Britney ripped $1000 bill in half and threw it out the window, saying, "Look, I just made two people really happy."
Not even noticing Britney's stupid move, Christina bragged, "Look, I'm going to throw 1000 $1 bills and make a lot more people a little happier."
At this point the pilot, who has overheard all this bragging from the celebs and couldn't stand it anymore, comes out and says, "I think I'll throw all three of you out of this plane and make 100 million people happy".................
And that was the end of the conversation of Agulerra, Madonna and Britney

Strategy and timing
Strategy and timing are the Himalayas of marketing... the rest are the catskills...
Al Ries and Jack Trout
Surprising they are alive and kickin... used to be prophets while in college...
Just goes to show that the principles everywhere are the same... whatever method you use, the bottomline should be to sell or market..

Saying the right thing, at the right time
Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover he can't believe. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirin next to a glass of water on the side table.
And, next to them, a single red rose.. Jack sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed... Jack looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror, and notices a note on the table... Darlin, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping....Love you!"
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks "Son...what happened last night?"... Well, you came home after 3 am, drunk and out of your mind. You broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."
"So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a rose and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?" His son replies, "Oh THAT! .... Mum dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your trousers off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, you tart, I'm married !
Broken furniture $85.26
Hot Breakfast $4.20
Red Rose bud $3.00
Two Aspirins $0.38
Saying the right thing, at the right time.........Priceless !
It is the same in marketing.... but only it is different people and different situations..... A lousy sales pitch when used at the correct moment, can have a much more effect than a high paid, advertising campaign...Likewise, a great sales pitch used at the wrong time can also have lousy results............ Some examples of marketing disasters, [although, nonetheless funny] are given below...

Your First Time
It's your first time.
As you lie back your muscles tighten.
You put him off for a while searching for an excuse, but he refuses to be swayed as he approaches you.
He asks if you're afraid and you shake your head bravely.
He has had more experience, but it's the first time his finger has found the right place.
He probes deeply and you shiver; your body tenses; but he's gentle like he promised he'd be.
He looks deeply within your eyes and tells you to trust him - he's done this many times before.
His cool smile relaxes you and you open wider to give him more room for an easy entrance.
You begin to plead and beg him to hurry, but he slowly takes his time, wanting to cause you as little pain as possible.
As he presses closer, going deeper, you feel the tissue give way; pain surges throughout your body and you feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues.
He looks at you concerned and asks you if it's too painful.
Your eyes are filled with tears but you shake your head and nod for him to go on.
He begins going in and out with skill but you are now too numb to feel him within you.
After a few moments, you feel something bursting within you and he pulls it out of you, you lay panting, glad to have it over.
He looks at you and smiling warmly, tells you, with a chuckle; that you have been his most stubborn yet most rewarding experience.
You smile and thank your dentist.
After all, it was your first time to have a tooth pulled out .......
For those of you who had ''sex and orgasm'' in their minds - shame on you !!
Don't worry your time will come !
