Call it what you will. Either the right or left,(I have been known to act like I have two left hemispheres) these writings are the other side of me. In this exhibit you will see that it is the visual and literary arts, combined, that complete me.

Now that the above paragraph has been read, please enjoy, and take with a light heart, my pre-meditated prim & prose.

                                           Hail-O-Meter 5000

                                              (Mock Radio Ad)

                                              By: Misti Denison

 

 Are you tired of not knowing what size hail it was that just plummeted through your car window? Do you feel isolated and left out when the weatherman tells you to expect golf ball sized hail?

                                   

Well my friends fret no more. Order the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä today and take the guesswork out of hail!

 

                Just listen to some of our satisfied customers about the new Hail-O-Meter 5000ä

 

 

                        I never could understand just what our meteorologist was sayin when he said dime to quarter size hail. But now, with my Hail-O-Meter 5000ä I always know what size it is!                         

                                                Lucy

                                               

 

Thats right eager weather Sayers, now you too can own a miraculous new device that proves

 Size really does matter!

 

The structure of the Hail-O-Meter 5000äis made from an ancient material called, Thelastofthestandingrainforestwood, this incredible find has been tested to with stand the brutal furry of Mother Nature for thousands of years.

 

To measure the size of the hail, gently place the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä into your hands. Next go outside and pick up a frozen ball of ice. Then find the closest match to the sizes already showing on your Hail-O-Meter 5000ä You wont believe the results.

 

       Ya know, for years n years I tried to guess what size hail had just conked me on the head to cause such a goose egg. But since I bought the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä I can match the bumps on my head with the actual size of the hail that hit me. Now I can measure the hail before I black out!

                                                            Ken (Lucys Husband)

                                                           

                       

                        One time, in the summer, daddys gots hit on the head by a freak hailstorm. He blacked out before he could get to the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä, so being the good little girl that I am, I measured the hail and it was the size of a softball! Thank you Hail-O-Meter!

           

                                    Bobby Jean age 7 (Ken & Lucys daughter)

 

Yes folks! The Hail-O-Meter 5000ä is so simple that even little Bobby Jean could use it!

 

On the front of the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä you will find gauges to tell you just what size measures up to your hail. Never again ask your neighbor how big the hail was.

 

Order your Hail-O-Meter 5000ä from Weatherall Inc, today!

 

 

   If it doesnt say Weatherall then you dont know your weather!

 

 

 

The Hail-O-Meter 5000ä will not protect you from falling hail. Hail-O-Meter is made from wood. Anyone allergic to splinters should not use this product. Not recommended for children under 5 years of age, as they may want to play with the gauges. Do not disassemble the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä doing such would result in the exposing of several rusty nails that hold on the hail size gauges. Hail size gauges are made from man made materials, such as, but not limited too, a U.S. Dime, Penny, Quarter, Ping Pong Ball, Golf ball, Tennis Ball, Baseball, and Softball. All gauges have been painted in a lethal toxic paint containing led. Do not flake of paint and consume. Not recommended for prison inmates as they could fashion the Hail-O-Meter 5000ä into a weapon. Hail-O-Meter 5000ä is a registered trademark of Weatherall Inc,. Distributed and sold by People Are Gullible Corporation.
