Lists and Letters
and other things made of words



 
 
 
 
 
 

A list of ways to get even with someone. Example: 

GARAGE SALE:  Place an ad in the classified section of your local 
newspaper advertising a GIGANTIC Garage Sale listing the 
address of your victim. Advertise televisions, cam-corder, vintage 
automobile,  antiques, etc. Sale begins at 6:00 a.m. Come early! 

X-RAYS AT AIRPORTS:  Purchase a large adult bedroom toy. 
Wrap it in a large amount of tin foil. Secretly hide it in a piece of 
the victims carry on luggage.  As it goes through the airport x-ray 
machine the  contents of the device will be shielded by the tin foil 
and will be unwrapped and inspected by airport security officials. 

LOST KEYS: Get a hold of some old useless keys (car, house, etc.). Place 
victim's name, phone number and $50.00 reward... if 
found and returned. Drop the keys in one of the less desirable 
areas of town. 

PAPER MONEY:  Write a sexually oriented solicitation message, 
victim's name and phone number (inviting a phone call) on the edge 
of several  pieces of paper money before spending them.  The 
victim will receive many eye popping inquiries. 

DOGS:  Purchase a silent dog whistle.  In the early hours of the 
morning (2am-4am) go near the victim's house and blow the silent 
whistle and the dog will begin to bark uncontrollably until the owner 
awakes and disciplines the animal.  When the owner goes back to 
bed repeat the process again. 

FAX MACHINES - Write whatever you wish on 9 pages of 8 1/2 by 
11 inch paper and tape them together (end to end).  Dial the 
victim's fax number and start sending the pages through.  After 
page two has been transmitted, tape the top of page 1 to the 
bottom of page 9 making a continuous loop.  The document will 
continue to cycle until the victim's fax machine has run out of 
paper. Be sure and disable your phone number from being printed on the 
fax and also disable caller I.D. This prank is great to get even with 
a business or individual who has somehow cheated you. 









 


 
 
 
 

The Pillsbury doughboy is way too happy,... 
  considering that he has no genitals. 

  When something is "New and Improved."  Which is it? 
  If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. 
  If it's an improvement, then there must have been something 
  wrong with it before. 

  People who are willing to get off their ass to search 
  the entire house for the TV remote because they refuse 
  to walk to the TV and change the channel manually. 

  When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too." 
  Fuck off!  What good is a goddamn cake if you can't eat it? 
  What???  Should I eat someone else's cake instead? 

  When people say, "It's always in the last place you look." 
  Of course it is.  Why would you keep looking after you've found it? 
  Do people do this?  Who are they, and what planet did they come from? 

  When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?" 
  No dicknose, I paid $8.50 to come to the theatre so I could 
  drink flat soda and eat greasy popcorn.  What did you come here for? 

  People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. 
  I know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? 
  Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is? >>

These are the nominees for the Chevy Nova Award, named after GM's 
            fiasco in trying to market their car in Central and South America. 
            Unfortunately,"no va" in Spanish means "it doesn't go." 

            The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" 
            prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their 
            attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?" 

            Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as 
            "Suffer From Diarrhea." 

            Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an 
            American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 

            Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find 
            out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the 
            "Manure Stick." 

            When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same 
            packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they 
            learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of 
            what's inside, since many people can't read. 

            Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a 
            notorious porno magazine. 

            An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market 
            which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I Saw the Pope" (el Papa),the 
            shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa). 

            Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi 
            Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese. 

            The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning 
            "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax," depending on the 
            dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic 
            equivalent "kokou kole," translating into "happiness in the mouth." 

            Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender 
            chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make 
            a chicken affectionate." 

            When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were 
            supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass 
            you."The company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) 
            meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make 
            you pregnant!" 

            When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats 
            in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly In Leather" campaign literally, 
            which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela en cuero) in Spanish.
