Twisted works. I remember being at a material handling convention at McCormick Place in Chicago a few years ago. It was absolutely dead except for the Big Ass Fan booth. People were lined up fifty-deep to get a photo with The Refrigerator. Everybody in the booth was having FUN. I'll bet they left the show with lots of leads, too! :) Thanks Karen! Twisted works.

Well, Brad part of the reason I keep coming back is your humor...that and the always great content! As a big fan of laughter, I love a company that uses humor to build a bridge to customers. For me it exposes that they're not taking themselves too seriously and makes the product or service more approachable. Of course, I may also just be twisted. LOL! ROFL!

I couldn't agree more about the use of humor - it definitely lowers walls between people, even total strangers.
