Rejected Whataburger lines

 In advertising, brilliance is often overlooked. Here are a few Whataburger examples that somehow slipped through the cracks.

Does it burn and feel like ponytail when you pee? If so, you might have a Steven Seagallstone.

The care and maintenance of your new Michael Bolton.

Congratulations on your new Michael Bolton! 

A Michael Bolton makes delightful addition to any family. But adopting a Michael Bolton isn't all just kisses and giggles and love ballads in denim.

It also comes with a great deal of responsibility. The following is a list of helpful pointers for the successful care and maintenance of your adorable new Michael Bolton:

1. DO NOT expose your Michael Bolton to bright light.

2. When walking outside, always be sure to keep your Michael Bolton on a leash. Otherwise, your Michael Bolton may run into traffic and get hit by a car, or bite a nearby child. 

3. When your Michael Bolton reaches sexual maturity, it will likely seduce all of your lady friends and mother. There is really nothing you can do about this, so when it inevitably occurs it's best to just retire to the living room and turn the TV up really loud.
 
4. If your Michael Bolton attempts to seduce you, however, you must remain strong. A solid defense is to puzzle it with the question "how can we be lovers if we can't be friends?"

5. DO NOT get your Michael Bolton wet.

6. The maintenance of your Michael Bolton's hairstyle is a delicate exercise, much like the artful trimming of a bonsai tree. To make sure it is always "wind machine ready," be sure to have your Michael Bolton's hair freshly permed and professionally styled no less than once every 3 hours.

7. A Michael Bolton's hair does tend to shed, ALOT, so it's advisable to have a shop vac in every room of the house to avoid destructive hair tornadoes.

8.  If your Michael Bolton soils the carpet, immediately take your Michael Bolton outside to its designated "bathroom area." Michael Bolton's have little understanding of cause and effect, so rubbing your Michael Bolton's nose in its excrement will only serve to confuse your Michael Bolton and dirty its nose.

9. To trick you into getting what it wants, sometimes your Michael Bolton will tell you that it loves you. Do not be fooled. This is a LIE.


10. DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, feed your Michael Bolton after midnight.

If you follow all these basic rules, you will surely have a rewarding and fun-filled relationship with your new Michael Bolton.

Sadly though, most Michael Bolton's only live about 8-10 years. When your Michael Bolton expires, it's customary to bury it in a shoebox in your backyard with a few kind words, then immediately replace it with a new Michael Bolton.

Mr. Shark has a conversation with Santa

Dear Mr. Shark,
What do you want for Christmas?

 - Santa







------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh hey Santa.

First of all, thank you for asking and not just assuming I'd want a reindeer. My mother got me one last year...I didn't have the heart to tell her, (I'm not even sure sharks have hearts) but I've never really liked them. The meat is pretty gamey, and the antlers scratch my throat. And I won't even get into what they're like coming out the other end.

Anyway it was a big mess. I didn't have the original receipt, so when I tried to return it I could only get store credit.  There wasn't anything else I wanted at the reindeer store, so now I'm stuck with this dead deer I'll never use crammed in the back of my closet. Fortunately my closet is THE OCEAN, so there's plenty of room for it I suppose.

I'm not a big fan of elves either. You'd think they'd taste like candy, but they are also surprisingly gamey. And they get all in your teeth. Last time I ate one I spent the whole rest of the day flossing out their sticky little fingers.

As for what I do want, seals are always a good go-to. You can never have to many, kind of like socks.

Honestly though, what I'd really LOVE this Christmas is you. You're so festively plump...I'm just dying to sink my teeth into that bowl full of jelly.  Plus you eat cookies all the time so I bet your blood tastes like cinnamon. I know it's a lot to ask, but I've been good this year...as good as any bloodthirsty murderous predator of the sea can be, anyway.

All I can say is, if I find your delicious corpse under my tree Christmas morning, I'll be as giddy as a schoolgirl covered in dead puppies.

Love,
Mr. Shark
