Just to let you know the puns roll on!!
Gillian, now in Vermont!
Mr. Schwartz owned a furniture store specializing in ornate antiques in the baroque style. He had walking pneumonia last month and was in one of the baroque style chairs rubbing Vicks VapoRub on his aching chest when he serendipitously discovered that the soothing ointment gave the furniture a wonderful, deep, rich shine.
He immediately told all the other furniture store owners since their furniture was more modern in style and they were not competitors.
Soon he got reports that the Vicks treatment not only failed to work on the modern furniture, but ruined some of it.
Mr. Schwartz is very unpopular now, and his only consolation is that he learned one important rule: "If it's not baroque,
don't Vicks it!"
