A professor was giving a lecture on company slogans and was asking his students if they were familiar with any.
“Joe,” he asked, “which company has the slogan, ‘Come fly the friendly skies’?”. Joe answered with the correct airline.
“Brenda, can you tell me which company has the slogan, ‘ Don’t leave home without it!'”. Brenda gave the correct credit card company without difficulty.
“Now Johnny, tell me which company bears the slogan, ‘Just do it’?”

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules.
