Need a joke....

So, I have the opportunity to speak to our local Rotary today about the value of proper signage, and where signage is headed. Pretty cool opportunity. I've got me notes prepared, but for the LIFE of me, I can't think of an appropriate signage related joke to open with.

Anyone got one?

Then just angle your hands and digits into different positions for a few seconds and ask them if they know what you're signing or if they know sign language and when they all say no.... tell them that's why you're here.... so people can better understand the signs littering our highways and town that no one understands. We want to make this place sign-ready.... not sign polluted...... AND I CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT !!


Be sure you don't give them the finger while doing this or they'll all say they know that one. If they do relate to it and say that's the one sign they all know.... tell them you're going to get them out of the gutter and onto the curb and show them how you intend to help your community and country have better signs where everyone can read them and understand all of them and not just the foul ones with no class.

Hey did you hear about the business that opened with no sign? He went out of business! Ha!

Haha...that's always a classic.

You could always tell a quickie story of something you've experienced while on the job.

I've got all kindza wacky stories from stuff that's happened while on the job, and I'm sure you do too if you dig deep enough.

Good Luck!

That is ingenious and very simple, but RIGHT to the point!

Hey guys - thanks for the ideas! The speech went really well. I went tried and true with the opening joke.

"I've always been told you should open a speech with a joke. I figure I'm funny looking enough that I can just stand here for a few seconds and get the same effect."

LOL

Long story short, it went really well, and I think we picked up $10k plus in potential business from it!

I know it's two years later, but I was at a meeting yesterday and I had to get up and give a small presentation, so after I introduced myself and where I was from and represented... and most everyone there knew I was in the sign business and did lotsa signs for people in that very room............ I said, Ya know, I had something figured out what I was gonna say, but I had a change of mind. We're in the process of looking for a new shop vehicle. And that's quite a chore, but I finally found one and that's just right, bright and white. I need to get it lettered.... anyone know of a good sign shop that can letter it ?? Well, now I had them laughing so I quickly went into how so many small guys are getting their first new truck, a second or third truck or like me, replacing vehicles. Everyone nodding back and forth. So, for those of you who know someone in this situation.... send them on over and give me some business.

Now, this was yesterday. One of the guys called me around 2:30pm about someone he was just talking to and was sending the woman right over to me. I sold one partial wrap and a full wrap to her. Got a deposit right on the spot.

Seemed she was on the other side of town and had just gotten a quote from a competitor of ours and when she saw Tim's wrapped truck on a mall parking lot.... asked him where he had it done. He not only remembered my talk, he had a business card with him and she showed up with the one I had just given him a few hours earlier.

Funny works :thumb:

I find it quite ironic that a business that consistently refuses to market themselves will go to great lengths to make sure their liquidation sale is well advertised.

AND on a further note....

Why do those same people refuse to hire a good business consultant because they "cost" too much, but then turn around and willingly hand over 20%+ of EVERYTHING they own to the liquidator?
