Lasko


Lasko

Meet Lasko.  If I let my imagination run wild, here’s the short story.

Lasko speaks and men sit up and listen.  His keen eyes are always looking, always sweeping the landscape.  His tall frame, his rough three-day growth beard add to the stories he tells.  And don’t get me started on his gun hand.

OR …

Lasko – it’s new, it’s fresh, and it last.  From the makers of Everlasting comes a new and improved Lasko.  Get it wherever you buy your supplies.

So who or what is lasko?

It’s the brand name on the fan in our bedroom. 

What’s in a name?

Whatever you want it to be.  Names are not good or bad.  How we associate names makes them good or bad. 

I once knew a white man with the nickname of Nig.  He was a good and honorable man.

So …
   Bucko
      Lose Tongue
         Fat Butt
            Bubba
               Mr. Jinks
                  Double Trouble

Maybe you’re okay after all.  Maybe you just got a name people misunderstood.


Something to think on,
in less than 60 seconds.
