Fully agree with comment number 1..
Interesting too, by sharing the same humour that only marketers can understand, it makes the reader feel being part of a community and you transform a profile of 'marketing tool vendor that you like and recognize their knowledge' to a 'friend', cutting the distance created by virtuality.
I mean, all of a sudden, the world changes around you.
Very interesting feeling.
Thanks for sharing these nice jokes and thanks for the lesson.
