Dave walks into John’s office.
Dave
Old man river, that old man river, he just keeps driving
along.
John looks up annoyed.
John
Why the hell would a river drive? Why would any writer write
that? Like did Sponge Bob Square Pants jump in the Mississippi, soak it up, and
get in a car and drive? And there were no cars in the 1800’s so why would
anyone drive anything?
Dave
There was no Sponge Bob Square Pants in the 1800’s
either.
John
Liar!
Keith, the Creative Director sticks his head in the doorway.
Keith
That’s what I like to hear…..passion when creating a new
campaign. But John, don’t say hell. A client could be touring the office…so we
don’t wanna hear hell.
Dave
No, the clients usually say: what the fu… What are these copywriting and art direction
charges.
John
20 minutes explaining that rivers flow they do not drive.
Dave
We are like slaves here…that’s why I was singing that.
John
Black, Jewish, Egyptian? What kinda slaves? How far back we
going?
Hey, a quote from Martin Luther King for that account.
People being judged for the content of their character.
Let’s google that.
Dave
Could work. Wanna go out after work.
John sings
Get a little drunk and you land in jail……
