How to measure the size of a banner ad
Back in the days when the internet was still something of a novelty I took the plunge and joined the sales team of a prominent publisher, selling the banner ads on that new fangled web thingy.

It was a fun job but most days were spent trying to educate marketing dinosaurs on the benefits of online advertising to the point where they started to consider us as experts in the field, regularly asking our advice on how best to invest their budget. If you've ever worked in sales, you'll know that reaching this position with your customers is something of the holy grail.

This well-deserved reputation was fatally wounded the day we hired a new executive. I'd like to say she was hired due to her experience and expertise, but in reality she was (as a ex-boss of mine used to say) one for the troops, not for the books. For the sake of this post we'll call her Laura.

Laura was a bit of a looker, but clearly not that bright. The powers that be however decided she was immediately ready to start liaising with some of our key clients.

We kept a close eye on her, hoping she wouldn't do anything to embarrass the team and destroy our reputation.

Things seemed to be going fine, until two odd things started happening.

Firstly, all of her clients starting sending in banner ads of the wrong size and specification. Secondly, Laura could often be found holding a ruler up to her monitor...

*facepalm*

That's about 6 inches in case you wanted to know. Being a woman and rubbish at judging lengths I decided one day to measure a can of Carlsberg as a reference point. So now I actually estimate cock size in Carlsbergs.
