> A little lady from North Carolina had worked in and around family dairy
> farms since she was old enough to walk - with long hours of hard work and
> little compensation.  Around the World War II timeframe, when canned
> Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores, she read an
advertisement
> offering $5,000 for the best slogan.  The ad stated that the rhyme had to
> begin with "Carnation Milk is best of all...."  And the lady thought to
> herself, "I know all about milk and dairy farms...I can do this!!!!"  So
she
> sent in her entry.
> About a week later, a black limo drove up in front of her house.  A man
got
> out and said, "Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award
you
> $1000, even though we will not be able to use it."

> Here is her entry:
> ================================
> Carnation milk is best of all,
> no tits to pull, no shit to haul
> no buckets to wash, no hay to pitch,
> just poke a hole in the son-of-a-bitch!
