Communication, communication, communication

A lot of husband and father success is wrapped up in communication. I believe that the Fall corrupted communication deeply. Sin created separation from
  • God
  • Nature
  • One another
  • Ourselves
So until the Lord completes the Restoration of what He originally created, communication is going to be difficult.

Persevere at it. Do not get discouraged. Keep trying, keep going.

And occasionally some humor helps. Even communication "experts" (that would be marketers) blow it. Here are some brand names that some well-intentioned person selected that didn't do as well as they hoped:

Spunk - Danish sweet bar
Zit Lemon-lime - Greek soft drink
Colon Plus Liquid - Spanish detergent
Polio - Czech detergent
Krapp - Swedish toilet paper
Homo Sausage Beef jerky - Japan
Mucos - Japanese soft drink
Pansy - Chinese men's underwear
Fockink - Dutch liqueur
Pshitt - French soft drinkChevy
Nova - Spanish for "it doesn't go."
