We get a lot of fun/strange product-new press releases and conference announcements by mail at our magazines. I find it funny that people spend money on print mail for this stuff, rather than using e-mail, but I guess they think that editors prefer retyping press releases and manually scanning images.
Sometimes Mr. Postman brings us bad news. Until last month I had no idea that there was an annual conference called Mega Rust, and now . . . well, I’m just insulted that they never sent me an invitation. Sob!
Today’s mail brought a new product announcement for a new crane from Air Technical Industries. I was about to throw it out when I noticed the headline of the release:
VERSATILE MULTI-TASKING JIB-MASTER
If I saw a help-wanted ad with that headline, I’d send ‘em my resume on the spot!
