WHY WOULD YOU WANNA WACKER?

In order to answer that question, let me first ask you something:

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND MOSES?

I don't mean that Moses lacked your three hundred horsepower TransAm with the dents on every fender. And I don't mean that God talked to Moses but not you. First of all, maybe she does, but that's not to the point. I know you, and you think that THE POINT IS YOUR LIFE!?!

The first difference between you and Moses, and I'm going out on a limb here : Moses had a much more interesting life than you do. (If I'm wrong write me the story of your life to prove it)

The second difference between you and Moses is that MOSES HAD A STAFF.

See what I'm getting at?

In fact, all kinds of people who had more interesting lives than you do, also had a staff. Never mind all those other biblical dudes. How about Little John, Robin Hood's sidekick? How about Bruce Lee? (In fact, martial arts RockWacking classes are rumored to abound). How about all those zen monks wandering around in misty landscapes getting drunk and nevertheless expounding wisdom? How about Colin Fletcher? How about Merlin and his like? How about........?

Now, I'm not guaranteeing a life as interesting as Moses'. It is, after all, a Chinese curse, to wish "an interesting life" on someone.

And if you faced any of Moses' travails, you would indeed feel cursed. Who needs all that slavery and such? God bugging you all the time to do stuff you don't want to do, and slinging plagues around like a politician's promises, and insisting on years of wilderness wandering? (Though Colin Fletcher seems to have made the most of such circumstance).

Besides, your RockWacker comes with only the one warranty that is on the certificate.

Now you are asking, "What certificate? What warranty?" That is because you didn't bother to "Click Image Below to See Your Certificate" as instructed above. I understand.  I'll spell it out for you:

"Your RockWacker is guaranteed to bring forth water from stone within the next 3,000 years, or you can return if for a full refund."

While we are on the subject of that guarantee, I acknowledge your skepticism. But if people continue to pay these silly prices for their RockWackers, there should still be a Wordless empire around to honor it when the warranty expires.

Now, let's try again on the "click image below" idea, and see if you do better this time:

Back to the point, the one and only point that is important to you, given your overwhelming self-centeredness: THE POINT IS YOUR LIFE!?!

Your life will become more interesting when it includes your very own registered certifiable RockWacker. At the very least, you will get a laugh whenever anyone asks what the hell it is. And, if they ask how much you paid for it, there's a chance they'll be falling down laughing at your answer. But you don't have to let that happen. Prop them up with your RockWacker!

And then there's the likelihood that your unique RockWacker and its history gradually gain value over time, the earliest issues and those with the most glamorous history becoming most coveted. (Not that we endorse any coveting.) The child you buy it for now may put herself through college with it later.

Speaking of value, take a deep breath and try to picture this: For the next three thousand years, you and yours, in the company of your RockWacker, spend each moment totally alive and alert, constantly on the lookout for miracles. What value may unfold from that?

But if all else fails, you will surely have one damn fine walking stick. Not necessarily fancy, it will be strong enough for chin-ups, sporting a comfortable, adjustable support strap, genuine leather wrappings, a tip perfect for fire-poking, enough reach to discourage mad dogs, perfect balance for beating the bush (maybe the bush that suddenly bursts into flame), a distinctive look for urban styling and self-defense, possibly a prop for your camera............. someone to lean on. Our fervent hope is that you frequently require precisely the help it provides to prevent your falling down laughing.

OK, so maybe there is no good reason that you Wanna Wacker. Now is the time to take a stand, to draw a line in the sand and declare your uncompromising position:

GOOD REASONS ARE OVERRATED.

Odds are that you are under the impression that money is scarce. So, for awhile now, you have probably been obsessing about the price. "HOW MUCH IS IT?" you've been wondering. You may find out soon.

But first, you should know about the ironclad service guarantee. This is different than the product warranty and it looks like this:


IRONCLAD GUARANTEE:

If you try to buy stuff from TheWordless, you will always enjoy

POSITIVELY GLACIAL

SERVICE AND RESPONSE

Glacial means:

COLD, and

SLOW.

If you are still obsessing about the price, or you just started to because you like the service guarantee so much, here's your answer:

YOU COULD HAVE YOUR VERY OWN REGISTERED, CUSTOM-BUILT, JU-JU-ENHANCED, CERTIFIABLE ROCKWACKER FOR THE ABSURD PRICE OF JUST

!?!

That is, you could have one for that price if I hadn't elsewhere made the following promise: "Under no circumstances will the price be as marked."

Given that, here's the order form:

TheWordless Will:

  • Carefully craft your RockWacker from beautiful strong stuff and sustainable sources according to those intensely personal standards that we have determined will suit you;
  • Document the source and creation of your RockWacker;
  • Record your RockWacker's unique "fingerprint," the hand-engraved signature number;
  • "Baptise" your RockWacker in appropriate adventure, and detail in words and pictures that early history for you;
  • Create your certificate;
  • Send this all along to you, with your own journal for continuing the saga of your RockWacker;
  • Maintain ongoing registry of ownership and stories;
  • Post those, if you so desire, on the world wide web.
  • Try to stick around 3,000 years to insure your satisfaction.
  • Maybe get your RockWacker to you within that time.

P.S. Just in case you cheated and came to this page without first bumbling bewildered about the mother site for an extended time, go bumble about the mother site now: www.TheWordless.com.

P.P.S.: In case you don't remember the story, it's in the bible, in the book of Numbers:

The LORD said to Moses, "Take the RockWacker, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink."

So Moses took the RockWacker from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his RockWacker. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.

Now, Moses got in trouble with the big guy for using the RockWacker instead of mere speech. In those days God didn't seem to have much sense of humor, and it was before TheWordless philosophy was abroad in the land. Nevertheless, be careful!?!

P.P.P.S.: Moses and his kin performed a bunch of other miracles with their RockWackers, bringing frogs out of the waters, turning those waters to blood, parting the Red Sea, calling up wind and locusts and such. They were all the time turning their RockWackers into snakes and back. But you should not expect that kind of performance from your modern-day RockWacker. After all, the age of miracles is past.

Isn't it?

Or maybe you would agree that when you, or anybody, pays anything like this kind of money for a silly stick, a miracle has indeed taken place. See how easy it is?

P.P.P.P.S.: While we're on the topic, one expert said this: "Miracles are nothing more than God's ordinary truth, seen with surprised eyes." That expert was Gerald May.

P.P.P.P.P.S.: Speaking of being on a topic, who ever said God has no sense of humor? When you read these stories, picture all the giggles and guffaws that must have been taking place just offstage while the pharoah and his armies suffered all their ignominy. Moses and his pals would have fallen down laughing, if they hadn't had their RockWackers to lean on! Picture all this posturing and biblical bombast in a Charlie Chaplin movie (silent, of course), and see if that doesn't tickle your tummy.

"LawWacker"

A Story

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S:

Edward Abbey was another desert RockWacker Packer. His was cherrywood. He makes no claim that it ever delivered water from rock, though he might have tried, for on occasion his ramblings featured terrible thirst. He was, however, a nonbeliever. He does credit his RockWacker with saving his life, though, when he found himself trapped in a steep-sided canyon:

Through the tears I noticed my old RockWacker lying nearby. I took it and stood it on the most solid stone in the pile, behind the two topmost stones. I took off my boots, tied them together, and hung them from my neck on my back. I got up on the pile again and lifted one leg and set my big toe on the top of the stick. This could never work. Slowly and painfully, leaning as much of my weight as I could against the sandstone slide, I applied more and more pressure to the stick, pushing my body upward until I was again stretched out full length above it. Again I felt about for a fingerhold. There was none. The chute was smooth as polished marble.

No, not quite that smooth. This was sandstone, soft and porous, not marble, and between it and my wet body and wet clothing a certain friction was created. In addition, the stick had enabled me to reach a higher section of the S-curved chute, where the angle was more favorable. I discovered that I could move upward, inch by inch, through adhesion and with the help of the leveling tendency of the curve. I gave an extra little push with my big toe—the stones collapsed below, the stick clattered down—and I crawled rather like a snail or slug, oozing slime, up over the rounded summit of the slide.”
