New job opportunity

I have a pretty good grasp of the English language.  I fancy myself a bit of a writer.  I even have the next Great American Novel stirring around in my brain.  Has been there for 19 years, but I haven't worked on it in years.  Let's just say the last draft is saved on one of those square hard discs that you used to put in a disc drive to give you an idea of how long it has been since I worked on a "story" of any kind.

I did write a rather charming tale called "Chicken Shit and Other Fowl Language" that a few of my close friends claim was entertaining.  But then your close friends often will tell you they enjoy your singing and/or dancing too.  It's the polite thing to do for sure.

But I definitely think I have a good enough grasp of the English language to apply for my next job.  I've decided I can be a shampoo bottle description writer.  I mean, have you read a bottle lately?  What happened to "Lather, Rinse, Repeat"?  Women's shampoo promises everything from hydration, detoxifying, freshening, awaking, blah blah blah...  But the men's shampoo - namely AXE (which is a 3 letter word to all middle school teachers), now those go a little far in my mind.

Do men really believe that one trip to the shower, a little body wash and shampoo and women are going to be falling over themselves?
