Performance Ideas
 
Use this card as your business card, just like comedian Henny Youngman did. Use a rubber stamp (order through any office supply store) to print your contact information on the back of the card. When you show someone the card, they'll want to keep it. And they will show the card to other people, giving you even more publicity. Just what you want form the perfect business card!
 
History and Trivia
 
Legendary comedian Henny Youngman was the comic genius behind these cards. Early in his career, he owned a small print shop in New York City and began printing humorous cards to use as giveaways. His "Pride and Joy" card and "Kids" card were the most memorable, and he used both as business cards throughout his long career. He was not the first to do so, however; his friend Milton Berle had seen the powerful marketing potential of these cards, and was the first to give them away to his fans after his show. As Henny Youngman's career took off, he himself began to use the cards that so well matched his brand of humor, printing his actual address and phone number on the back so he could be easily booked for a show. He used the cards right up until his death at age 91 in 1998.
 
The products shown on the card are (were) popular consumer products found in many homes, and were therefore very familiar to anyone looking at the card. PRIDE was a liquid wax product made by the S.C. Johnson Company, which today makes products like GLADE®, OFF!®, PLEDGE®, RAID®, SCRUBBING BUBBLES®, SHOUT® and WINDEX®. JOY is a brand of liquid dishwashing detergent, still sold by Procter & Gamble.
