Wehrman Writes In
Here you have the pleasure to hear some wise words form a dear, crazy freind, Mr. John Wehrman:
Had a moneymaking brainstorm for my other corporate job...(drumroll please)
'First there was the Full Monty...a film about regular guys taking off their
clothes...for profit. (drumroll continues) Then there was the New York
City Fireman calendar...a bunch of everyday heroes wearing nothing but the
mantle of national admiration...for profit (still with the drumroll)
NOW... for the first time ever, a major American retailer presents
BOOKSELLERS as only their mothers and extremely close friends have seen them
before! Barnes and Noble presents...(SFX: Cymbal crash leading into
badass power chord repeating riff under) THE BOYZ OF BARNES AND NOBLE!
Check it out...the same dudes who so smoothly run the registers, stock the
bookshelves, and perform complicated title searches with a smile now wear
just that smile as they show you the day...in a literary way!' We see on
the cover of this calendar that our January Bookseller is apparently naked,
but there is one of those cheesy brown paper bag covers over the lower half
of his body. Remove the teaser and discover he's holding a book in the
strategic location.
There's more, but you get the idea. I'm actually going to suggest that our
store should do this...I could find a model photographer to do it, etc. but
I'd be kinda surprised if they went for it. I just think it'd sell and we'd
make money at the same time.
You heard it here first: The Barnes & Noble Bookcake calendar!
