Philosophy
My Fellow Comedists,
Let's think about some unintended commercial comedy this weekend. The most famous example, of course, is the Chevy Nova, which did not sell well in Spanish speaking countries, translating to "doesn't go." Less well-known is the great success of the first eppisode of "Joanie Loves Chachi" when shown in South Korea. The term "chachi" in Korean refers to the male genitalia. TheWife takes a daily dose of the enzyme CoQ10+. Not sure what it does, but her sudden interest in learning French makes me a little nervous.
Other brands with odd, funny, or inappropriate names?
Live, love, and laugh,

- Happy Keister
My Fellow Comedists, This weekend as our Christian friends celebrate their holy day of Easter, we Comedists celebrate our holy day of Keister, a day dedicated to that part of the human anatomy that not only sounds funny, it looks funny. The displaying...
- Mixed Breeds
My Fellow Comedists, So TheWife has been beginning to think about dogs. Mixed breeds are much healthier than pure breeds and in terms of intelligence and shedding, poodles are a great dog to work into a mix. As a result, we now have lots of poodle mixes...
