All it takes to be king of the world is all the
money, all the power, and a good manicurist. My choice would probably
have to be Madge of the Palmolive commercials.
"Sire, sire, what great wisdom have you to impart
upon us, your lowly servants?" people would ask.
"Soak in it," I would reply.
What if dishwashing detergent plotted a revolution
and decided to overthrow the imperialistic regime of Humanity? Wouldn't
that be cool? Watching little bottles of Dawn and Ivory and Palmolive
and Dove and Joy and...and...and...all the others in their lemony, spring
fresh, clear splendor. There would be bubbles everywhere! Floating
through the air! Oh sweet, soapy bubbles...There would be Mr. Bubbles
and Mrs. Bubbles and all the little baby Bubbles!
Speaking of bubbles, how many people collected
the little comic strips in Bazooka Bubble Gum? And what about those
really stupid jokes they have inside of Laffy Taffy wrappers? Do
little kids really find that stuff funny? And while we're on the
subject of talking fruit (were we on the subject of talking fruit?)
What the hell was the deal with the Fruit of the Loom guys? Do you
suppose any of those fruity actors went on to play a major role in a Mattlock
movie? Who developed the concept of the fruit on the label coming
to life? That's just what people need while they're driving down
the street: Fruit jumping out of their ass. What do the Fruit of
the Loom guys have to talk about, anyway? Skid marks? Accidents?
"Hey, do you know who has been in these panties?" the
apple asks the white grapes. "Everybody!" the white grapes
replies.
"I do everything in my BVD's." Yeah, that's
something you want to advertise...
I miss my Spider-Man Underoos. Why don't
they make Underoos in adult sizes? I'd wear them. I want Pope
Underoos. But only if they come with that funky Pope hat. That
would be cool. Poperoos. It could be a marketing phenomenon!
But why stop there? The Pope's official incense, Pope-pourri.
Pope on a Rope, be saved while you shower. Keep that fresh feeling
all day with Pope Powder and avoid that nasty robe chaffing. And
on the Black Market, Pope Dope. Yes, you too can fly to heaven and
talk to God with Pope Dope. Smoke a Pope. And try new Pope
Dope Light! Half the calories of Classic Pope Dope.
Groovy, daddy-o!
Blasphemy! Blasphemy! Oh well.
I want to start a new religion. Why not worship
invisible flying pickles? Imagine if you will, blue pickles with
silvery wings, or rainbow pickles or golden pickles flying over our heads.
They're invisible of course, but just imagine if you can't see them.
Or better yet, why not worship dishwasher detergent? After all, we
don't want them to revolt, do we?
