Advertising costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. For many small businesses, a tiny ad in the local newspaper is all that’s affordable in terms of exposure (and we all know what’s happened to newspapers in the last few years.

Who would have thought?

Haters are the greatest motivators.

I’m unsure who should be offended by this brand of sexism. I mean, I want free beer, too.

Yeah, so take that you judgmental, khaki-wearing elitists!

So weird, that’s what we were going to do anyway!

This is true. I call it “dance juice.”
