Once upon a time, there were two guys Santa and Banta who wanted to pick up women on a beach. Banta had no problem picking up gorgeous women; he was the most popular guy on the beach. But Santa had no success. Santa: "Banta! How do you do it? How do you attract so many beautiful women?" Banta: "Well, I`ll tell you! But it`s a secret....just between you and me. I don`t want my system to become too public." Santa: "OK. Its a deal." Banta: "You see those potatoes over there? Well, every time I come to the beach I take one and put it in my underwear. When the women see it they come running from miles around." Santa: "That`s it? I can do that." The next day, Santa went over to the produce stand and picked out the biggest, most perfectly shaped potato he could find. He then went into the changing room and slipped it into his underwear . As he walked out onto the beach he immediately noticed that women AND men began to take notice of him. "It`s working!" he thought. But soon he began to realize that they were not looking interested but rather upset, almost disgusted by the sight of him. So, Santa went over to Banta and asked "What`s the problem? Why isn`t it working?" Banta: "Because you`re supposed to put the potato in the front!" |
