A few years back I discovered a Wimpy print ad, that was copy driven(that means that majority of the ad consisted of text; for those of you that are wondering), and to this day the words still put a smile on my face. I don't have the original ad, but the text has survived the passage of time.
"Wake up. Roll around. Run around. Drive your parents crazy. Go to
kindergarten. Drive the teachers crazy. Go to big school. Drive everyone
crazy. Go to high school. Get driven crazy by a girl. Play rugby. Play
cricket. Become captain. Win the game. Celebrate. Flunk maths. Study.
Drink coffee. Pass maths. Graduate. Get a scholarship. Go to university.
Live on burgers and chips. Study psychology. Change to law. Become an
entrepreneur. Ride the bus. Get a break. Ride a convertible. Bump into
your high school sweet heart. Buy her dinner. Buy her breakfast. Marry
her sister. Start a family. Change nappies. Trade in the convertible.
Buy a sedan. Watch your sons play rugby. Coach the coach. Become the
coach. Take the team for a round of milkshakes. Lead them to victory.
Start a new company. List the company. Sell the company. Buy a yacht.
Sail around the world. Do relief work in Timbuktu. Sail back. Settle
down in the Karoo. Walk the dog. Get a juice. Stroll past a rugby game.
Coach the coach. Become the coach. Think back. Remember how you loved
every moment of it."
Now didn't that brighten up your day?
