YAY, AMPERSAND
The ampersand, one of my favorite symbols, I must say, ending in the same word it symbolizes.
And it’s exciting, starting off with an amp … plus I know whenever I see it being used there’s going to be more.
For instance, Proctor, by itself is just a supervisor and Gamble, by itself, makes you think of an uncertain outcome but add our little friend, the &, and these two words become something very clean. See the power of the ampersand.
David Abercrombie and Ezra Fitch knew about sporting goods, hunting rifles and the like so they opened a store which languished in Manhattan for years until they dropped the “and” then added our friend the “&”. Then they took off like a mofo. Consider this, ladies, if it weren’t for the ampersand you would’ve missed out on all those shirtless models and the Jersey Shore guys wearing the A & F clothes. Okay, sorry, I agree… we didn’t need that.
You should have fun with the ampersand when you can. I know I do. When my wife, the “O”, and I want to teamwork it we announce we’re going in as “S & O” code name: SOSO. That’s our team name in trivia. But when we want to get kinky I just lay out a belt in this shape:
That’s a signal there’s going to be more than one activity happening in the bedroom. And if there’s a question of whether my heart can take it, my wife will pull out the old stethoscope and shape it like this:
You can use the ampersand as a code for anything. For instance, say you’re hosting a beer party for your buddies and you want to signify not just one beer. Like this means one beer… and another… and another … and another:
So you guys should be like me and pledge your allegiance to the ampersand because it’s cool & sexy & curvy & can stand on its own & joins together two things that want to be joined together & always looks like it is getting ready to smoke & usually has the number 8 in it & has a big butt. What’s not to like?
