I got the new May CI catalog today.

Page 59:

The Unsmokeables
"Youve heard of Good, Better, Best? Well, how about Crap, Crappier, Crappiest! Here are our picks for low-end handmade "winners" of the month."

I laughed a bunch!!!

The last one says "Run fast and far, no matter how the price might tempt you!

Classic:r

That page always makes me laugh.

A couple of links, even though not directly from catalog, these are the descriptions used, straight from the CI website.
These are my faves.

Reverse psychology.

There used to be a billboard for a local restaurant around here that said: "Warm beer and lousy food".

Remember the Deja Vu (strip club) billboards that said: "Hundreds of beautiful girls and 3 ugly ones"?

They may be good, but they'll not "good" me into buying that crap. I'll take them at face value on these puppies.

:r There's a bar near me with "warm beer, lousy food and ugly bartenders". The place looks like a dump so maybe they're letting you know what you're in for.

A very odd bar/rooming house in my college town (Cortland, NY) had the slogan "Where the lighting is poor and the service is worse." They had one man rent a room for something like 30 years. They had a No Women Allowed sign for room rentals--and they meant it. Good chicken wings though.
