Carnation Milk Contest

This lady had been married to a farmer all her life.
They had cows and horses on their farm and also
grew a number of crops for sale at the local farmer's
market.

While shopping at the local grocery store for a few
items that she and her husband did not raise or grow
for themselves, she came across a contest form. It
was from the Carnation Milk Company and the object
was to complete a jingle in fifty words or less. The
Company furnished the first line of the jingle with
these words,
"I like Carnation best of all......."
and it was about those little cans of milk ! found on
grocery store shelves.

So she completed their jingle and sent it off to the
Carnation Milk Company.

A couple of months later, the woman was surprised
when a Carnation Milk representative came to her
door and told her that her entry was the best one
submitted. However it was unfortunate the company
could not publish it. In lieu of that latter fact, they had
decided that her entry was worth at least a consolation
award and provided her with a company check in the
amount of $1000 for her creativity.

Here is her entry:

"I like Carnation best of all,
No tits to pull, no shit to haul.
No barns to clean, no hay to pitch.
JUST PUNCH A HOLE IN THE SON OF A BITCH
