I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Dr. Conant was on FIRE with funny sayings today, so there's quite a few but even these have been narrowed down.

"My wife currently has the cordless drill."--conant, explaining why he was using a drill with a cord in the class illustration

"When a man or woman buys a cosmetic product such as hair gel or cologne, what are they really buying? Hope. Hope that they will be more attractive, sexier, more popular. Cosmetics. Hope."--conant (and all this time i thought i was just buying cosmetics)

"When I buy an A&W rootbeer today, I'm not just buying rootbeer. I'm buying nostalgia." --conant, referring to his childhood memories

"Her opinion was that sports is taking over to the detriment of culture. We could have an interesting discussion about that, no doubt."--conant (yes, but lets not)

"Clarity and consistency. Claaaarity and consistency."--conant

"Lets focus on this chapter fully, yet exclusively."--conant (huh?)

"Qtips is a very unusual, odd sort of letters to put together. Q.....Tips"--conant

"My son eats [squirt cheese] straight. He comes home from practice and guzzles it for protein kicks. I have to leave the room"--conant (yeah, me too. leave the room that is)

"No one ever says hand me a soft facial tissue."--conant (thats right, and no one should say it ....its just weird)

"Bless you! This is a sneeze free zone. Sneeze when you need to. Its not good to hold it in."--conant (comforting to know)

"The visual nature of the product is mesermizing"--conant, in reference to a rainstick he bought for himself while Christmas shopping, while turning it and watching the beads fall.

"You dont like to see your kids fighting in public because you have to do and say things that make people think you are a terrible parent."--conant, referring to his 2 boys fighting over who would carry the bigfoot pizza out of little caesars, while he was carrying the pizza box around the classroom

"Cleanliness is an attribute of clothing you are seeking."--conant (indeed it is)

Well thats a few of the hi-lites from today. As you can read, we had a most interesting lecture in marketing. Indeed I've had a most interesting time the past 48hrs even outside of classes and I'd like to leave ya with a quote from my greatest Prof, who I'm striving to be a learner of and thats this....

"For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: 'Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.' See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." --Ephesians 5:12-17
