Award winning

Lately I’ve been reading reviews of restaurants, hotels, books, and software that all have one thing in common – they are all award winning. There are award winning employers, commercials, websites and even bottled water! Who is handing out these awards? What discriminating organization taste tests the water of the world and hands out awards? I wonder what they use as a palette cleanser between the samples of water. And do they swallow it or spit it out like during wine tasting? What is the criterion for these awards? The website loads in a web browser – blue ribbon! The restaurant didn’t have mice, only fruit files – so give it a silver award. I think I will start handing out awards to people – but they won’t be for anything specific. You held the door open for me today – congratulations, you get a box of Kleenex. You’re the tallest person I’ve ever seen - a free cookie! You are wearing a well coordinated outfit today – you win a copy of today’s newspaper. Of course these awards come with official certificates as well – hang them on your wall with pride! Nominations for awards are now being accepted.
