I tell you it's a great idea, but how would you advertise? While we admit to being Lumps, most other Lumps have yet to come out of the closet.
They Lump in secret.
This time of year I guess advertising should be aimed at SO's and WH's. You could send out e-mail that says, "What's Wrong With My Spouse, Anyway?"
or "Is Your Spouse Life-Challanged?" Then give a little test:
Does your spouse:
-Avoid sunlight like Nosferatu?
-Spend two-thirds of life in flannel jammies?
-Have Starbucks coffee and chocolate delivered?
-Talk to the TV?
-Polish off 15 Oreos while standing at the kitchen sink staring at the clock?
-Have more pills than a pharmacy?
-Have an impression of his/her butt permanently imprinted on the couch?
-Scream when the telephone rings?
-Walk around the house with a blanket? Is the blanket a mood indicator, i.e. on a good day, he/she drags the blanket behind her like Linus, and on a bad day hides under the blanket with just parts needed for breathing sticking out?I know I'm forgetting some stuff. Anyway, I can hear across the nation an exclaimation by SOs:
"Yes, that's him/her exactly!! I must buy a gift from these people!!"Well I think I will go imbibe in a glass of the National Drink. I know I'm not supposed to but, oh well, screw it. I mean, oh fiddlesticks, it's just one glass!
