- Elvis? Is it really you? This is an incredible stroke of luck--there's
- a question I've been dying to ask of you: "what happened to Dan Mocsny?"

- Actually, I'm fond of quoting Twain myself (there are even a few quotes
- of his lurking in my randomsig file), but in this case I have to differ
- with him--I think there are lots of better techniques for good breeding.

- Running a household isn't an easy job: cleaning, washing,
- ironing, putting socks in drawers and shirts on hangars--jobs that are
- just too tough for a man to do. That is, until now--with Pink &
- Pecker's new line of "Do it Himself" household tools, almost any man
- can do those difficult household chores nearly as well as a woman.
- "Do it himself" household tools are made with extra-large handles to
- fit the larger, clumsier hands of a male, have fewer delicate
- controls, and come in a variety of manly colors, including camouflage,
- woodgrain, lumberjack-shirt plaid, and safety orange.
-
- The complete set of "Do it Himself" household tools includes:
-
- * A "Do it Himself" Iron, featuring an extra-large 'shur-grip'
- handle and Pink & Pecker's exclusive 'no-burnz' built-in
- smoke alarm
-
- * A "Do it Himself" Mop, the only mop with enough enough flashing
- LED's and large exposed lugnuts for a real man to use
-
- * A box of "Do it Himself" laundry detergent, the only laundry
- detergent that smells like a man and still leaves in those
- important grease stains that prove his masculinity
-
- * The "Do it Himself" cooking kit--no mamby-pamby quiches or sissy
- appetizers, the "Do it Himself" cooking kit contains 100 recipes
- for char-broiled steaks, baked potatoes, and man-sized TV dinners
-
- * The "Do it Himself" sewing kit--featuring a needle the size of a
- pencil with an eye even a man could thread--plus thread strong
- enough to hogtie a calf
-
- Don't forget--Father's Day is coming up soon. Get your man his own set
- of "Do it Himself" household tools. He'd thank you for it, except that
- real men just grunt when accepting gifts. That's "Do it Himself"
- household tools--ask for them by name.
