My girlfriend has a fascination with Madison Avenue advertising techniques and the way they use images to sell productss. As we were cruising about the neighborhood, she kept pointing at the outdoor advertising posters.

"Look at that poster of the camel." she said. "The nose looks like a penis, with the testes hanging over the sides in the shape of the nostril."

Pointing to another poster she said, "Look at that poster of the beer bottles. The first bottle is one-third full. The second bottle is two-thirds full. The third bottle is gushing out beer and looks like an orgasm."

When I didn't respond she looked at me and asked, "I'm showing you all these interesting symbols of subliminal genital advertising. How come you aren't reacting?"

"Because," I replied, "I'm a guy who is not into guys. I'm into women. Show me a poster with something that looks like a woman having an orgasm and you will have my attention."
