PLOW n. An implement proverb

 PLOW, n. An implement that cries aloud for hands accustomed to the pen.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Advertising is, actually, a simple phenomenon in terms of economics. It is merely a substitute for a personal sales force - an extension, if you will, of the merchant who cries aloud his wares.

 Commodore 64 är datorn som lockar till demoprogrammering. If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist.
