Three Degrees From A Great Ad Idea

The marvelous honeysuckle unguent I like to rub onto my sratchy feet and itchy hands was recommended to me by Werner Hertzog.

Well, before you pass out with excitement, not exactly.

I sometimes know people who know famous people. My first girlfriend's dad worked on one of Madman Herzog's movies. A moment from our time together I can't for the life of me figure why I remember is of her being all happy one day to find some Glysomed cream in a Portuguese pharmacy. She told me Hertzog said it was the best.

The stuff smelled so good it haunted me until I rediscovered it again myself 13 years later.

I just realized I'm sitting on a yet another million dollar idea. If only some ad man for Glysomed knew the esteem in which the maker of Fitzcarraldo holds his client's product.

Couldn't you imagine Hertzog holding up a tube of this in the jungle and saying, "Bullying a crew into dragging a steamship over a tropical mountain and through rapids all day can really chap a guy's hands. Hand me the Glysomed."

Hertzog would make a nice chunk of change for his next 'self reliant' movie.

With the waterproof sweetness of their contents and an endorsement like that those disc-like green jars would be whirling off the shelves so fast they'd cut your head off, no?
