Brag Or Not?


When you git awards, should you kip them to yerself? I was the State of Connecticut spilling chimp when I was in the 8th grade, should I put this on my wibsite. How about getting out of the joint early for good behavior, does this have a place in advertising? I started a fire when I threw a cigar into the roof teeroff pile, but my quick thinkin saved the family home because I was smart enough too jump in my truck and run over the pile a bunch of times and it put the fire out, my tires were shot though, but tires are cheaper than a house. You never see this kind of stuff in advertising, just the old "Quality, experience, value" crap. What do you think, is it time to change the face of advertising? Should I share my unique victories with my clients?

I would also add that I was not a "registered" sex offender, that would let them be more at ease with leaving their teenaged daughters home while you were working in the house.

Yes, not a registered sex offender and never convicted. Smoked but didn't inhale and "I never had sex with that women"!
