Woolworths has a really stupid new ad. It says something like this: Number one for "value"
It really makes me wonder what "value" is, if not value itself.

About Me
- PTR
- A raging Bruxist, I grew up on an ostrich farm until I was mistaken for a woman one time too many. Leaving my angsty post-teen life as one of three only children, I flew to Stockholm where I unexpectedly won the Man Booker Prize for lengthy blogging about being short. I'm perplexed to report that I like painting tiny Romans.

Too much Gruen Transfer for PTR!
Actually, I think the Woolies tagline is a satirical reference to South East Queensland's recycled water pipeline, which is of course, "We value number twos"!
I think its an assignment statement from a high level woolworths designed programming language!
In C it would be
int value=1;
I think they couldn't decide what they wanted. So they came up with a random word generator. Only they hired a poorly educated programmer. Consequently it produced: "Number one for #Value!#"
It stuck.
Keep up the good blogging!
