How Advertising History Was Almost Changed

There was once an advertising writer who had a great idea for a headline. It might have been the best ad headline of all time.

He knew that it would win awards, praise, and a promotion. He quickly sketched it on a bar napkin.

Then, he sat his glass of bourbon on the rocks on the napkin.

The melting ice made the headline turn into a blob. The next morning, the writer didn't even remember writing a headline.
