Rudy McBride: "The staff of the Let Me Hold Five Dollars National Bank (L.M.H.F.D.) recognizes the potential of unemployed individuals in poor neighborhoods. We understand clearly what the good Lord, James Brown and Marva Whitney say about not using your potential: 'If you don't work, you can't eat!'

"And we, at the L.M.H.F.D., want disenfranchised individuals to return to the days of earning their daily bread. You dig? Therefore, we invite all unemployed workers to attend our 'Entre-Poor-Negro to Entrepreneur Start Your Own Business' workshop. To our unemployed Caucasian counterparts, do not let the title of our workshop keep you from attending.

"The L.M.H.F.D. practices 'equal opportunity' for everyone. In other words, 'We don't discriminate!' Listen to this success story."

Miss Tomkins: "I discovered a secret barbecue sauce recipe belonging to a dear African-American friend of mine who passed away. I was an unemployed single mother who realized the potential of the recipe and attended the L.M.H.F.D.'s 'Entre-Poor-Negro to Entrepreneur Start Your Own Business' workshop.

"Upon completion of the workshop, I got a patent on my dear friend's barbecue sauce and established a very successful business making and distributing jars of delicious Bigg Momma's Sauce. Today, I host my own cooking show on the 'Food Network' cable channel called 'Barbecue with Bigg Momma.'"

Rudy McBride: "Are you jobless and starving? Choose your fate in a struggling economy! Work for Miss Tomkins or attend the 'Entre-Poor-Negro to Entrepreneur Start Your Own Business' workshop. For more Information, call 1-800-BID-NESS."

And I'm glad that you hear it, L.W. That particular spelling and pronunciation of 'business' is easy to remember as a phone number.
