I saw a commercial on TV for a cold remedy where, at the very end, the man recommending the product announces his name as Ted Karcus. Sometimes when I have a cold along about the third day I’m thinking, “I logically know I won’t DIE but I can’t remember what it felt like to be well; I FEEL LIKE I’M GOING TO DIE.” This is the point in my mortal existence when I’m suppose to remember a guy named CARCUS wants me to feel better? Is that his stage name or did his Daddy give it to him, and who, making the commercial, told him to say his name?
Naming things and people is interesting, for instance would you like to borrow money from someone named Teddy Cash or Don Foreclosure? Lief Forever sells coffins, Art Bark is an exterminator; that’s better than Hugh Needs Anewhouse. There’s a weight Loose pill sold by Lotta Biggs.

The results of his unshopping sometimes caused a strong a reaction from his victims,. A reaction as strong as a laxative sold by Gwen N. Bearrit would have.  nancymauerman.com
