Having learned some fancy new steps in Brooks' Academy, Washington DC, Joe has some advice for all those new to this amazing product "YES WE CAN YOUR OWN WHATEVER". At 65, he's a hero to those "men of a certain age" that we've been hearing so much about (with due regard to Mrs. Clinton, of course) If you've been caught in the same old dancing routines in Washington for 35 years, or even if you're finding that jiving and rock & roll a bit outdated in Peoria, you too can learn new steps. A bit of square-dancing will now endear you more than ever to the people of Appalachia and if you can sing "Mother Machree" that's all to the good. The zombies in Flyover Country will fall for the routine, as our Production Manager Howie Bean and Shortlegs Dally, also an important executive in our booming organisation, can testify.
Joe is a "regular Joe" because, come rain or come shine, he does not fail to take our "Yes We Can Our Own Arigula" for breakfast each day. His fine jawbone has developed from the calcium and limestone in our truly excellent "Yes We Can Our Own Unadulterated Lourdes Water", a family favourite with all the staunchly Catholic Bidens. Sometimes "our regular Joe" varies the ice-cold Lourdes water with our more peaty-flavoured "Yes We Can Our Own Unadulterated Connemara Water". As Howie enthuses, " this Connemara Water is pure as a mountain stream with just the slightest hint of wild heather from the boglands of Ireland". This is such a fantastic product that Joe has urged his new friend, Barack, to try it and reports are exceptionally favourable on its jawbone-strengthening qualities.
Now I know you've been waiting with some impatience for news of "Yes We Can Our Own Beau Beans. Howie loves the idea but it's Joe who should really take the credit as he's cultivated these sensational beans in his own back garden, although careful to give the franchise to "Yes We Can....." These Beau Beans will not be available to the general public in the immediate future but elite groups who've had the privilege of tasting them verify their exceptional quality.
At "Yes We Can Whatever", we are always solicitous of our customers' needs. We would advise you that dancing back and forth is excellent for mobility but you should consult your medical adviser if your diet is over-reliant on arigula, unadulterated water and, eventually of course, our really splendid beans. This is particularly important if you're involved in running any kind of race and could be very embarrassing for your partner in the championship stakes of "Come Dancing", as it's been established that such a combination could be a powerful purgative for those with a delicate constitution.
