Three sisters were getting married in quick succession, and their mother, a bit anxious about their honeymoon experiences, made them promise to send a postcard with just a few words describing how things were going in their marital lives.<\/p>\n
A few days after the first daughter\u2019s wedding, a postcard arrived from Hawaii. It had just one word:<\/p>\n
\u201cNescaf\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perplexed, Mom hurried to the kitchen, grabbed the Nescaf\u00e9 jar, and read the label:<\/p>\n
\u201cGood till the last drop.\u201d<\/p>\n
She turned red but couldn\u2019t help feeling pleased for her daughter.<\/p>\n
A week later, another postcard arrived, this time from Vermont. It read:<\/p>\n
\u201cBenson & Hedges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curious, Mom went straight to her husband\u2019s cigarette pack and read the tagline:<\/p>\n
\u201cExtra Long, King Size.\u201d<\/p>\n
She blushed even deeper but nodded in approval.<\/p>\n
The third daughter left for the Caribbean, but days passed with no postcard. A week went by, then two, then an entire month.<\/p>\n
Finally, a postcard arrived. The shaky handwriting read just two words:<\/p>\n
\u201cBritish Airways.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heart pounding, Mom flipped through her Harper\u2019s Bazaar magazine, looking for the airline\u2019s latest advertisement. When she found it, she read the slogan\u2014then gasped, her eyes widening before she fainted.<\/p>\n
The ad read:<\/p>\n
