A lesson in marketing and art??!!!

A colleague sent me this and this . Ron Mueck had no art training or qualification.


A Professor at a lecture in INDIA was explaining marketing concepts tothe Students:-
1 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing
2 You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says:"He's very rich. Marry him." - That's Advertising
3 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her Telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." - That's Telemarketing
4 You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car)for her,pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" - That's Public Relations
5 You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: You are very rich! Can you marry ! me?" - That's Brand Recognition
6 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - That's Customer Feedback
7 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.- That's demand and supply gap8 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him - That's competition eating into your market share9 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your wife arrives. - That's restriction for entering new markets

One wedding & two funerals !!!!

I was in 9ja about 2 weeks ago with my friends. We tried to enjoy ourselves despite the fact that the third mainland bridge was closed. My friends went to the Island but I didn't try it. The electricity where I stayed wasn't that bad at least the kids were able to enjoy their video games and it was on from midnight till morning. I went to Abeokuta and the drive wasn't bad.
Nigerians and owambe. Na wa. I was able to attend at least one wedding and two funerals. All in all, the kids enjoyed their stay in 9ja and they're already talking about next summer
