Brainstorming!

-Hey Rick, you want to help me brainstorm some product names?
-Yeah, of course.
-First is a trap that kills cockroaches.
-So we’re looking for a place where people get killed? 
-I mean-
-Motel.
-What?
-Roach motel. Lots of people get killed in motels. Prostitutes. Degenerates. 
-I guess…
-Not to mention people who have…seen things.
-Okay, we can go back to that one. The next product is a piece of plastic that looks like a rock and you can use it to hide a spare key.
-Motel dumpster.
-Why would you say that? What do you hide in a motel dumpster?
-Only the things you need hidden the most.
-How about just hide-a-key or something?
-Sure….hide-a-key… 
-Are you okay? You’re sweating so much. And you haven’t blinked in a very long time.
-I’m fine. What’s next?
-It’s a new cleaning spray for all surfaces.
-Sticky situation fixer. No! Evidence remover. 
-Evidence remover?
-It does get rid of blood, right? What about guts?
-Listen, Rick, I’m getting a weird, scary vibe here.
-I’m sorry. I don’t know what I’ve done to make you uncomfortable but I’d like to make it up to you. Why don’t we take a drive out to the Route 23 Motel?
-That sounds like an awful idea. I think you want to take me out there to murder me.
-I respect your ability to call a spade a spade. I will take a rain check on that drive.
-Nope. No rain check.
-Fair enough.
