The American version of haiku, I submit, is a Priceless ad. My contributions:
The Shangri-La Diet: $15 (including shipping)
bottle of grapeseed oil: $6
additional groceries each month: -$200
not worrying where your next Yodel is coming from: priceless
Note to SLD dieters: The reference to grapeseed oil dates this. I now drink refined walnut oil and flaxseed oil (nose-clipped).
smaller pants: $60
blush I use as excuse for better-looking skin: $8
blood test for improved lipids: $80
migraine-free TOM: priceless
Short blog posts are a little like haiku.
