Random thought #19

Did you know...

An appropriately placed “s” can turn the world’s largest home improvement retailer into an evil tyrant who through unfair practices, intimidation and cruelty lords his control over the domination of a single residence?


That the removal of an “s” can also transform the world’s no. 2 soft drink manufacturer into a gardener in southern California who works with questionable nationalization credentials?


That it’s also possible, through insertion of the proper “i”, to convert the world’s leading provider of legal stimulants and effervescence into a national public radio contributing senior news analyst?


That believe it or not, through the simple omission of an “e”, we can change the home of craftsman tools, Ty Pennington, and $36 billion in annual revenue, into a severe viral respiratory illness more commonly associated with Asians and Canadians hailing from Toronto?


Then, there’s this...

Without changing even a single, solitary letter, you can transfigure a leading fitness specialty retailer for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts into an undefined grouping of multiple male genitalia!
