psst... need a box of pe*is enlargers?

i stared at my inbox for a full minute willing new mail. no luck.

it's friday and people who have a life are out doing other things. i think I'll go off and check my yahoo mail.

yahoo mail is so dependable. i keep getting mail about penis enlargers and breast enhancers. inevitably, both mails are from the same guy.
someone really needs to explain to matt.davison@emedicineathome.com that the market for people who're interested in both products is very, very small. if it really was a big market then you'd see more of this around.

so you walk into costco and ask them where they keep the ear buds. this friendly sales woman leads you between the bales of diapers and hands you a box of 9999 ear buds (that's the smallest size they carry). you thank her and start to walk away and she asks you if you'd like to buy a dozen penis enlargers. if you stop to show any interest whatsoever, she'll start the cross-selling pitch. a half hour later you're struggling to open the boot of your car which is hard when you're balancing a huge box of penis enlargers and a bigger box of breast enhancers (they were on sale).
cross-selling to cross-dressers? now there's a niche market they don't teach you about at wharton.
