Shame?

Do I look like someone

Who has any shame? No,

I don’t stock that stuff.

Shame is for suckers.

Instead, I sell something

especially special.

Look on that table yonder—

full of it. I’ve piled up plenty of

Empty promises there.

Think about it. Once you have

Shame, it’s hard to get rid of it.

You can’t sell it or pass it off.

You can’t easily wash it away. But

Hutzpah? I’m offering it for just $59.99.*

Get it now before it’s gone!

*Some say it’s “chutzpah,” but I don’t care.
