Modern Life #23332 - In the future, all shops will...

posted 12 May 2009

Asda. In the future all clothing will work on a buy one get one free basis (already successful with socks)...  

Suits

At the news stand in Tesco... In the future all magazines will be distilled into one magazine called Jamie.

Jamie

Each page will have a flavoured picture of Jamie that you can lick. If you lick it enough, the picture wears away to reveal TV listings showing when the next cookery programme is on.

In the future cookery programmes will be on all the time, meaning the Editor of Jamie can just use the same listings issue after issue, saving time and money. This saved cash will be put to better use buying more page-flavouring.

In the future, after Jamie is dead, licked to death by an obsessive fan presumably, the magazine will fold. That will be the end of the printed word. People won't read anything that doesn't have a flavour.

In the future, Asda will produce a suit that has the shirt, tie, socks, pants and shoes all conveniently sewn in. If you buy one you'll get a second one free. When you get a hole in a sock you just throw it all away or give it to a tramp.

In the Future, tramps (many of them redundant Listings Editors) will all wear suits and ties. The reading material they will sleep under will also be their evening meal.
