IT'S A DUCK, SO MAKE A BUCK
A Ruby D. Begonia Column
By Del Freeman
"Look at this," said Ruby, replaying her tape of Johnnie
Cochran wearing the infamous ski cap.
"Is this anything like the cat video?" asked Del. [See
Starship Ruby, coming in the November, 1995 Ruby's Pearls issue]
"Nah," said Ruby. "This one'll work. This is gonna make our
fortune, Freeman. Mine, anyway," said Ruby.
"Don't even think you're leaving home with David's American
Express card and some video that does not belong to you," said Del.
"Hey! This is mine. I made it and it's mine. I can do what I
want with it," Ruby protested.
"I'm afraid not, my dear," said Del. "What would you do with
it, anyway? You can't sell it, it's already been mass-
disseminated."
"Yeah, but they ain't got no vision, them people putting it
out. This is a very versatile piece of work, here... it's got
unlimited potential," said Ruby.
"As almost anything," said Ruby. "First, there is the old
exercise video market. Put on a hat and slap that fat with Johnnie
is a nice title, don't you think? It's also a potential bombshell
for E Fashion File and Ilsa Klench. I thought 'Wife Beating Wear'
would stir up the critics, eh?" Ruby said, grinning.
"I can always trust you to come up with another way to make
a buck, can't I, Ruby?" asked Del. "I'm surprised, though, that you
haven't hit on the most obvious market."
"Which is?" asked Ruby.
"Lawyers, of course. They buy a lot of these kinds of tapes
now for purposes of instructing clients in court appearances as
well as teaching tools for themselves," said Del.
"Hmmmm," said Ruby, "you may be right. Wonder if I could get
this intercut with Gerry Spence's glove-smacking mock defense
argument."
"I'm sure. I've got the last segment of the television
superman sitcom you can use, too, and I'll bet Gerry Spence would
re-enact that styrofoam cup demonstration if the price is right,"
said Del.
"With or without the fringed jacket?" asked Ruby. "I figure
the jacket's worth another 10,000 in sales, don't you?"
"Almost certainly," said Del.
