This week's Short Story Friday features inimitable transition music from the late 90s vocabulary building program, Verbal Advantage. The program almost veered into Stephen Covey/Dale Carnegie territory, but it was way cooler because it only cared about one thing: giving you a really kick-butt vocabulary which would, according to the author, almost certainly turboboost your personal and professional success (women/men will be unable to resist a man/woman who has a way with words!)

In honor of the late Charles Harrington Elster, who accompanied and entertained me and my dad on many a car ride throughout San Diego County.

Verbal Advantage, Success Edition is still available, and I can personally attest to its efficacy (see that?!).
