We're going to have to pull you off the ceiling.

Holy crap!! You all have to check out this press release that [livejournal.com profile] chocorisu stumbled across. It's describing a pep rally for an apparently Amwayish patent-medicine company's "sales associates", and is filled with gems like
"I've been in network marketing for 17 years, and I've never seen anything like this in my entire life," said Jimmy "the Butcher" Smith from Westchester, Penn., at the conclusion of the event. "This event was the no. 1 event I've ever attended."
and
"We haven't made a million dollars yet, but we have a million dollars worth of friends," said Paul Perkins, from Layton, Utah.
Really, practically every paragraph is a jaw-dropper, and the whole thing is utterly sincere.

"Pizza Today" magazine is almost all like that. It's sad.
