The Monday Morning Memo

Okay, that's all you need to know about nougat.
But since you're one of the 14 people committed enough to spelunk this deep into the rabbit hole (and I mean “committed” in a mental health sort of way,) I'll reward you with something I received from my friend Morty Silber. 

This is one of those great email letters we instinctively suspect to be fake. But I took the time to research this one and found the original blog post. Wendi Aarons is a brilliant writer. (Not surprisingly, she spent 10 years in advertising.)  I'm going to do my best to get her to the academy. On second thought, I'm going to ask Michele Miller to do her best to get Wendi to the academy as a guest in Michele's October session of Wonder Branding.

By the way, you should read Michele's eyebrow-raising news on the home page of WizardAcademy.org today.

Random Quote:

“The information on milk containers is highly educational. My first concepts of infinity were developed from looking at Pet milk cans when I was a kid. On the label there was a picture of a cow in a can, her big mooey head hanging out of one end of the can – another Pet milk can, naturally – and on the label of that can was the same cow in another Pet milk can. And that can also had the same cow-in-can design on its label. And those cow cans, one inside the other, just went on, growing progressively smaller, as far as they eye could see. It walloped my little mind.

‘They’ve changed the label,’ Amanda pointed out.

‘Yeah, they have,’ sighed Jimmy as he left to return to the show. ‘To Madison Avenue even infinity is expendable.'”
