You know that guy that comes up with an idea that causes you to roll your eyes ? I’m that guy. I’ve caused more eyes to roll than a potato farmer.

I recently caused an eye-rolling episode for a local florist . I was holding a huge, soft rubber fist that serves the promotional market as a 20oz beverage holder, primarily in sports settings. I said, “What do you think, Jim? It’s the Fistful of Flowers bouquet.”

He rolled his eyes. His wife rolled her eyes. Why? Because, in their mind, flowers go in vases and baskets — not in big fists. After some prodding, they agreed to put arrangements in the fist.
