Gentlemen, you are drunk

This comes to us from a gigantic sign in Grand Central, hence the odd reflected lights in the image.  Now I know they're serious, because they're using the term, "Gentlemen."  But, while they're being serious, they're also being another word that ends with "-ous."  Ridiculous.

What exactly does that mean?  "Gentlemen, this is vodka."  What is this?  Sitting with glasses in your hands?  Not shaving?  Dressing semi-casual?  White and black men with glasses, talking about shaving heads, dressing casual with palm trees in the background?? 

Gentlemen, this is modeling.  This is fake.

Brand Your 'Rags-in-a-Box' All You Want! We Got Boxes of 'Em!

I'm thinking the generic Box of Rags people consider this a major coup.  Scott (R) with all the marketing might get bumped down the page, their "Rags in a Box" product overshadowed by the sheer mass of Boxes of Rags.

I can just hear the Box of Rags sales guy exclaiming to his boss: 
"Fred, are ya sitting down??   Wait'll you get this!  I got the catalog to give us top third, all rags, above, are ya ready...SCOTT's RAGS-IN-A-BOX!!!"  

Must've been a big day.
