Inspired by enlargement pills advertising spam, I plan to start my own business now:
selling brain enlargement pills!
It looks like the distribution of email spam is successful, so I think I'll use that too by sending millions of emails every day. Really going to be a bigwig in the enlargement pills business

However, I still have some doubts :
do people want (or know they need) brain enlargement pills?
Why do they buy all the other enlargement pills? Would it be a disadvantage that the motivation of having an enlarged brain is nothing the average buyer can pose around with by showing it his friends? I mean have you ever seen a brain other than in an exotic restaurant?

And finally: do people actually like to have a larger brain? It could become cumbersomely in some cases?

Answers on a postcard please ...

Bodo - I always thought it was quality not quantity mate

I had an idea to start a new political party called 'The Intelligent Peoples Party'. Then hopefully the uneducated who voted the current party into power would vote for me as they would want to be thought of as being intelligent.

you would need a VERY big wig if your brain was enlarged..

I think that most people are modest so even if they had a larger brain they would keep it under their hat. Presumably the skull would be enlarged too, or would people be walking around wearing pulsating shower caps?

And what about exams? would there be separate "turbo" and "normally-ventriclated" classes in each subject?

TBH I see more problems than answers with this... gimme a pill till I think about it!

"you too can look like the guy off the early 80's 'tefal' ads" could be your catchphrase!!

after you sell them their pills and their heads swelled up you could 'spam' them every time you see them.

(well,i am thinking of the old spam,maps,sidespam and any other way you can think of)

Debs, Hey - we're talking big business here! Bliar got his votes through quantity too (in another, but similar legitimate business).

If the brain enlargement pills don't go away like hot cakes, I could always replace brain with nose and start a nose enlargement-craze (see: it's like politics again) Actually, the entire enlargement pills business is like politics ()
