Your proposed slogan was somewhat short of thought out.

QFT In addition to my work experience in the trades, there was a little period of fun in the profession of retail sales. I tried retail door to door and immediately discovered that cold calling was not my cuppa. You've got to have a real need for rejection in large amounts for that field. Everytime I see those kids out proseletizing I'm reminded Dale Carnegie.

Not something usually associated together (God and Mammon) so I have always taken a dim view of these doorbell ringers. I usually interupt them and firmly tell 'em I'm not buying today and shut the door.

I stumbled into retail furniture and didn't get out for 17 years. (just a little sidetrack from pounding nails) The money was very decent for someone without a college education. One nice benefit to those furniture stores was the down time waiting for an up to walk in the door which I spent reading rather than BSing around a H2O cooler.

(I'm just learning to write, thanks to a bum shoulder. Not to mention youse bums!)

You post is absent of thought, how does "short of thought out" refer to my slogan ? And what the hell does it even mean ? "short of thought out" Perhaps you are trying to say that my slogan was not well thought out ?
If that is what you are trying to say, please elaborate.

Romney: VOTE FOR ROMNEY and OPEN AMERICA FOR BUSINESS AGAIN.

Obama: A VOTE FOR BARRY MEANS 4 MORE YEARS IN THE TOILET.
