Comedy Rule Of Threes
The Advertising Will Make You Throw Up
It’s the comedy rule of threes. If you have 2 statements, you need that third to make it funny.
Sure We Could Provide Better Modeling For Our Children…
…but if it shuts them up while we’re shopping, who cares?
You Can’t Tell A Book By Its Cover But You Can Tell If Your Barber Could Be An Assassin

Then they’ll say,
“Whoa … why am I on a ferry? Not cool.”
Word comma, Word exclamation mark!
