"When you're on the field, play as if nothing else matters.
When you're off the field, remember that the game doesn't matter at all."

Evil marketing director: “Make the unknown brand name that no one cares about as large as possible.

2/3
Every person on the planet: “I’m in a new hotel room. The shower is foggy. I’m tired. I’m not wearing my glasses. There is only ONE thing I need to know.
Which one is the shampoo, and which one is the conditioner?”

Go ahead. Tell me what’s in each bottle.
