FOOD FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
Presenting . . . your Rubber Chicken
A Rubber Chicken IS a funny
prop. But several
customers have asked, What should I do with it?
Here are some ideas on how to use it:
- As a microphone when students ask a
question.
- In place of a ball when playing reinforcement
games.
- When nobody is answering your questions . . .
ask
the chicken.
- Get people to take turns speaking. The person
holding the chicken gets the floor.

PRICE REDUCTION!
Remote by Apollo/Kensington:
List price
$129.99
New Price: $74.95
In case this is confusing, here's what happened: We
originally listed the Apollo remote for $129.00.
However, we went to a trade show and saw the very
same remote with a Kensington label for a fraction of
the price. As it turns out, Apollo and Kensington are
both owned by Acco. We said, if there's a lower price
for this product, we want our customers to have it.
So, here it is!

RULE 1: Don't Try to be "Funny"--Just Try to
Have Fun.
RULE 2: Focus Out, Not In.
A wealthy businessman was vacationing on the
Riviera, when one day he got a call from home. It
was his butler. "I am very sorry to inform you of this,
sir," he said, "but I thought you should know right
away. Your beloved cat somehow got onto the roof
and fell. I am afraid the animal is deceased."
Expecting grief at this news, the butler was startled
at his employer's response....
In this article, Tamblyn asserts that humor is, indeed,
a skill and a gift--but it is one that everyone
was born with in spades. All it takes is a bit of
creativity and playfulness.
