Urban Legends

Wow. And I thought this only happened in really bad Kevin Williamson movies (yes, that guy who directed both Scream AND the equally frightening Dawson's Creak)... apparently, I was wrong.

Managing Partner: So tell me, what color do you prefer? Snowflake or Snowbright?

Me: Oh, wow, XX. Um, to be honest, I'm not sure I can see the difference.

Managing Parter: No, no. Put your glasses on. This is important.

Me: Yeah. Um. I still don't think that'll help. Maybe you should just paint one wall with Snowflake and the other with Snowbright.

Managing Partner: Jesus. That's the best idea to come out of you in ages (and off he trots)




Right. So, when I worked at a certain agency in NYC years ago, I remember hearing about a certain someone (which incidently the agency was partially named after) who had men go around the office late at night, paint buckets in hand, retouching the walls and removing any signs of scuffs and dirt. He also detested desk clutter and believed that desks should never have anything more than a computer (and even THAT was an eye sore) and insisted that window shades always be either opened or closed at 90% (and had small, clear indicators installed on all walls so we could know how to properly line things up).

Sigh. I wonder what color he would have used on those walls.... Snowflake or Snowbright?
