What Has Amway Ever Done For Us?


Somewhere in Ancient Britain
(with apologies to Monty Python)

Stan: ..and another thing! What has Amway ever done for us?
Reg: They've helped create hundreds of independent businesses, honestly!. They've taken some spare time that we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers.
Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.
Reg: Yes.
Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.
Reg: All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return(he pauses smugly)
Xerxes: The Business Plan?
Reg: What?
Xerxes: The Business Plan.
Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true.
Masked Commando: And the products!
Stan: Oh yes ... products, Reg, you remember what life used to be like without the products.
Reg: All right, I'll grant you that the Business Plan and the products are two things that Amway have done ...
Matthias: And the new website ...
Reg: (sharply) Well yes obviously the website ... the website goes without saying. But apart from the Business Plan, the products and the website ...
Another Masked Commando: Nutrilite ...
Other Masked Voices: Laundry Care ... Hair Care ... Skin Care
Reg: Yes ... all right, fair enough ...
Commando Nearer The Front: And the Amagram ...
General Audience: Oh yes! True!
Francis: Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if Amway left, Reg.
Masked Commando At Back: The Flagship Centre!
Stan: And you can walk in off the street now.
Francis: Yes, they certainly know how to keep order ... (general nodding) ... let's face it, they're the only ones who could in a place like this. (more general murmurs of agreement)
Reg: All right ... all right ... but apart from better products and support and education and the Business Plan and Nutrilite and a website and a freshwater system and the Amagram and the Flagship Centre ... what have Amway done for us?
Xerxes: Brought hope!
Reg: (very angry, he's not having a good meeting at all) What!? Oh ... (scornfully) Hope, yes ... shut up!
