Recently, sales of the Proloxil "Big Pharma" mug have skyrocketed. Which is to say, some people bought some, whereas until now no one had bought any. Thus! Skyrocket.
Many thanks for that. All who bought a mug now have collector's items, sure to increase in value because of their rarity. Why? Because the new design has the Astonished Head URL on the back in teeny-tiny letters, and the old design was sans URL and looked exactly like a jen-yew-ine pharmaceutical industry product promotional mug in every detail, such as you might find in your doctor's office or on your local coroner's desk. That was the joke, see.
But my desire for self-promotion has won out over my desire to perpetuate the perfect satirical fraud. So, hang on to those old-style mugs, folks! Someday, your grandkids will be on Antiques Roadshow, amazed that their grandparent's foresight will put them through college.
By the way--the ChristHanuKwanzaa gift-giving cycle is fast approaching...why not give that special someone a Proloxil mug or T-shirt? Let them know you care enough to suggest a course of fictional psychiatric medication!
