I may not be as quick or as clever as
masters like Michael Malice or economist Bob Murphy, but the old man occasionally gets a good one in.
In promoting this year's Contra Cruise (the vacation Bob and I host for our listeners), Bob posted on Facebook a link about Alaska, our destination, and the embedded photo showed a whale leaping out of the water.
Bob's accompanying text ended with the words, "The whale has not yet been confirmed to speak."
To which I replied:
"Bob, I thought it was certain you were going to speak."
Zing.
A month later, a mysterious package arrived.
An anonymous person had sent me a beautiful sweatshirt with our design on it, and the words, "I came to hear the whale speak."
I am wearing it as I type this.
How'd he do it? Is he some amazing designer with a sweatshirt factory in his home?
He used print on demand.
It's a fun business to start, and requires basically no up-front investment. (Hence "print-on-demand.")
I'm making you a deal:
I'll promote your product, or your full-blown print-on-demand store, to my audience.
Think that's a valuable bonus? (Duh.)
But she's disappearing, so go:
