Heco's mile-long cable pull with Polywater® J.

USS Arizona

The USS Arizona lies just off Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This sacred site--or at least very nearby--was the recent scene of an historic, mile-long cable pull, in which APC is proud to have participated. Polywater J and the Pull-Planner 2000 Software Program played integral roles in the successful under-harbor installation. The details of HECO's (Hawaiian Electric Co.) cable pull comprise the cover-story article in the October 2006 issue of Transmission & Distribution World Magazine. We highly recommend that you read this article and mention it (or provide a copy or link) when appropriate during sales calls. American Polywater and its products are mentioned numerous times in the article. The expertise and product performance chronicled here are the reasons you represent APC--and why your customers should use our products.

American Polywater's sales meetings are so much fun, it's amazing that any work ever gets accomplished. Following the questionable theorem that light-hearted games will "energize" meeting attendees and "stimulate their creative juices," APC's leaders push inane activities intended to promote camaraderie and produce brilliant marketing campaigns. A recent meeting included a brief journey off topic to play Write a Caption for this Photo. The image--and caption--at left is one example of the nine photos involved. It is hoped that sharing these photos and Funny Captions will increase your sales vitality as well. Some of the results are humorous enough that we hoped they might strike your funny bone, if not your verve. Let's test the theory. Read the captions and then sell lots of Polywater!

The Friday Fax Editor's Joke of the Week

The Joke

Three Kick Rule. A big-city lawyer went duck hunting and shot a bird that fell in a farmer's field across a fence. As the lawyer climbed the fence, an old farmer drove up on his tractor and asked what he was doing. Lawyer: "I shot a duck and it fell in this field. I'm going to retrieve it." Farmer: "This is my property. You're not coming over here." Lawyer: "I'm one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. If you don't let me get that duck I'll sue you for everything you own." Farmer: "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes here. We use the "Three Kick Rule." Lawyer: "What's that?" Farmer: "Because the dispute occurs on my land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up." The attorney thought about this and, sure he could beat the old man, agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed off the tractor and, with his first kick, planted his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin, dropping him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie. The lawyer struggled to his feet and said, "Okay, now it's my turn." Farmer: "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
