Cow Milk Loses at Indy 500
From: "Robert Cohen" <notmilk@...>
Date: Mon Jun 6, 2005 11:56 am Subject: Indy 500 Winner Disses Milk notmilk2002 Offline Send Email Indy 500 Winner Disses Milk At last Sunday's Indianapolis 500 mile car race, David Letterman (TV talk show host and sponsor of Danica Patrick's car) said this about the tradition of the winner drinking milk: "I got a glug of that last year (in victory lane). I got there a little late and there was about a third of it left. They were just passing it around and I thought, 'Well, you're stupid if you don't do this just once,' so I gave it a shot. I won't say I have an aversion to dairy products, but at the end of a long, hot day I'm not sure room-temperature milk is what I'm looking for." (Letterman laughs) Dave Letterman is smart enough not to be too critical of bacteria-filled warm milk. After all, his T.V. network has received billions of dollars over the years from pizza and other dairy ads. Letterman is a pro and carefully chooses his words. The race winner, Dan Wheldon, took a sip of milk, and admitted that milk is not his cup of tea. After taking a sip, he poured most of the contents over his own head after winning the race and becomming an instant millionaire. Wheldon's words: "I=E2=80=99m not a big milk drinker. But, for once, it tasted great." OK. We can live with that. Faced with the challenge of drinking something he did not really care to consume while millions watched, he took one small sip, then ceremoniously poured the rest of the milk over his own head like a baseball player celebrating a world series victory with a bottle of champagne. We applaud Wheldon's creative method of avoiding the remaining milk! Here's a photo of Mr. Wheldon pouring out most of the bottle of milk: <http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,3-2005250025,00.html> In honor of last Sunday's momentous moment, in which the winner traditionally drinks from a carton of cow's milk and then suffers gastric reflux a few hours later, I am offering a $100 SoyToy (plus shipping) to the first five callers. That's a $59 savings! I know...it's not fair that I do this before 10 AM on a weekday, but, hey, that's when this urge struck me. Five of you are about to luck out. The SoyToy usually retails for $159. The first five people to answer this email can purchase a SoyToy for a below wholesale price! (Plus shipping costs of $10 to the Continental United States). Cry, beg, threaten. It will do you no good. Only five soymilk machines are available at this special price. Callers 6-100 will hear these words: "Sorry, no exceptions." Add one-half cup of dried soybeans to two quarts of water, and you'll end up with two quarts of delicious soymilk in under 30 minutes. This appliance will pay for itself before the summer's end. OK---Operators are standing by. Call toll-free: 888-NOT-MILK (888-668-6455) Robert Cohen http://www.SoyToy.com |
