The text of an ad for a jewelry store in a tiny town in Nor Cal about 50 miles away from here, as seen in their weekly paper read:


"As we grow older, our eyesight begins to diminish,

This requires BIGGER DIAMONDS."

A definition of advertising as told by one author in a novel I am reading:

"A profession dedicated to convincing you that $hit is toothpaste".

"Then We Take Berlin"
~~John Lawton (2013)
