Infinite MonkeysThe U.S. Postal service is running an ad campaign for a flat rate for shipping for a flat box, with Harry Shearer using the line "if it fits, it ships."
If it fits it ships?
So now a line by a scumbag lawyer used to get a cold-blooded killer off on a murder charge has been adapted as a cute advertising line?
Next up? "Other than that, Jackie, how did you like Dallas."?
Posted by JamesPh. at June 6, 2006 09:21 AMI think the level of redundancy in the phrase "scumbag lawyer" borders on the tautological. It's in the same league as "unprincipled politician" and "a-hole cop."
Posted by: Monkey RobbL at June 6, 2006 12:44 PMIt's evocative, certainly; but I don't think I could take them to task unless the slogan had been "If it fits, you must ship it."
I promised my sister I'd get her a cake for her birthday. Now I'm wondering if I couldn't save myself some postage by simply leaving out the yeast.
