Carnation Contest
A little old lady from Wisconsin had lived on and worked around a family
dairy farm since she was old enough to walk. There were hours of hard
work and little compensation. When canned Carnation Milk became available in
grocery stores (1940s or 50's) she read an advertisement offering $5,000
for the best slogan, rhyme that should begin with "Carnation Milk is best
of all...
"The little old lady said, I know all about milk and dairy farms. I can
do this! She sent in her entry and about a week later, a black limo drove up
in front of her house. A man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your
entry so much, we are here to award you $1000 even though we will not be able
to use it."
Here is her entry:
Carnation milk is best of all, No tits to pull, no shit to haul! No buckets
to wash, no hay to pitch, just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!
