My dad sent this to me:

Over the years, people have often asked me to explain the various
concepts of marketing. The following analogies might help clarify the
"tools of the trade" as they apply to women.

* You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say,
"I'm fantastic in bed." -- That's Direct Marketing.

* You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome
guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's
fantastic in bed." -- That's Advertising.

* You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his
telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in
bed." -- That's Telemarketing.

* You're at a party and see a handsome guy. You get up and
straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say,
"May I," and reach up to straighten his tie brushing your breast lightly
against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed." --
That's Public Relations.

* You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and
says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." -- That's Brand Recognition.

* You're at a party and see a handsome guy. You talk him into
going home with your friend. -- That's a Sales Rep.

* Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you. -- That's Tech
Support.

* You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could
be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto
the roof of one situated toward the center and shout at the top of your
lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" -- That's Spam

--------------------------

To be honest, if a girl ever came up to me and said something like that, I'd say "Great, let's go do it".
She'd reply with "Oh, I don't wanna have sex, I was just telling you how great I was."

I was definitely amused. More than mildly humourous.

And it's all true. No wonder I fucking hate marketing.
