The importance of knowing your target market
Posted on October 24th, 2008 in Funnies
Tonight I was walking out the door to go to the store when I saw a package on the ground. Not recognizing what it was I decided to pick it up and look it over. It was a sample from Safeway, our local grocery store.
What was it a sample of, you might ask, knowing that something normal would never get me to write about in my blog?
You’re going to love this…
It was an Always pad. With wings.
Now that, in and of itself, isn’t ridiculously funny. The kids thought it was a blast. At least that is what my wife told me. But there was something that I found to be terribly funny about it.
You see, Safeway sent it to me. That’s right. A pad. Addressed to a Mr. Robert Gonzalez.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do with one of these things?

Well, my dad did this when we has inebriated on a camping trip. When his friend passed out, they duct taped him to a chair, and then stuck a pad on top of his head like a mohawk. (I didn’t say it was a GOOD thing to do with it. What’s sad is, I know I have a picture of it somewhere.)
Unless, of course, Mr. Robert Gonzalez starts menstruating soon. You might need it for that.
On a serious note, stick it in your glove compartment. If you are ever in an accident on the road, they are sanitary (as the name tells you) and they work really well for absorbing blood, just slap it on a cut arm or a bad owie, and voila! Instant, super absorbant bandage. I keep them in my go kit in my car. Very useful, especially with daughters around.
