Why do people in their twenties seem to think that people in their
thirties are just a spoonful of Metamucil away from ordering off the senior
menu at Denny’s? They talk about their impending “Big 3 – 0” like it’s a
long-range missile trained on their personal GPS coordinates. When that weapon
strikes, the 29-year-old will apparently have the instant and overwhelming
compulsion to buy a packet of Tums, a pair of powder blue polyester stretch
pants and some $4.99 reading glasses at the Walmart. Oh, no, my first gray hair! Life might as well be over!
Young People – and by that I mean – well – you know who you are – I’m
here to offer my services. In my educational DVD entitled “Suck it up and deal
– how to start a new decade without the whining” you can glimpse what could
be in store for you upon finally reaching your- gasp! – next birthday with a
zero at the end of it! In this sixty-minute program, I’ll reveal some basic
techniques which hinge upon the principles that (1) life is precious and worth
living to its fullest and (2)
to go on living means ya gotta age.
You need to bite the
gray-headed bullet and bite down hard. Once
I teach you how, you can ingest all of that power you’ve been giving to the
idea of aging badly and turn it into something I like to call self-esteem. Not
that know-it-all, blustery bravado you’ve pretended
was self-esteem, either, but the bonafide, genuine, real deal.
For a limited time only, you can have this amazing DVD for just $39.99!
But wait, there’s
more! Buy now and I’ll throw in the award-winning booklet “Snivel No
More – Stuff You Don’t Realize Until You’re 40.” Here’s a sneak peak: You
actually have to listen sometimes. Not that
foot-tapping-eyes-roaming-around-the-room distracted form of pretense favored
by people – yeah, you – who are just
waiting for your turn to talk. You
need to start paying attention – especially to people who are older than you
and might have something meaningful to impart. "Snivel No More"
will show you
how.
But that’s not
all! Included in this low-priced offer
is a special kit that will reveal to you with near x-ray vision all those
social leeches who suck the very oxygen out of a room. It’s backed up by a
support system that’ll daily reassure you – sometimes, it’s okay to judge a
book by its cover. Why waste what precious little time you got left on
emotional parasites?
And
... If you are one of the next 50
callers, we’ll throw in our hot-off-the-press e-book called “Sometimes Your Parents Were Right.” Valued by actual moms and dads as worth over
two billion dollars!
Don’t miss your chance – just $39.99. Satisfaction guaranteed. If after 30
days you haven’t stopped whining about getting older and embraced it with both
arms open, we’ll give you your money back!
Special restrictions may apply. Not included are shipping, handling, and
a federal usage tax for people who wasted their twenties worrying about things
they cannot possibly control. Suck it up and deal and Order Now! You can’t
afford not to!
