A tank and a submarine, motorcycles, a destroyer, a fighter plane, and an AA gun emplacement helped to show off Lucky's new white uniform. Lucky Strike Cigarettes sponsored several radio programs during the war, including Information Please. The program's creator, Dan Golenpaul, decided to go to war with George Washington Hill, the president of The American Tobacco Company, over how often his radio announcer was ordered to use the slogan. Golenpaul felt the constant uttering of the phrase was ruining his show, so he filed a lawsuit against the cigarette manufacturer. Radio listeners taking part in a 1.

When questioned why he would annoy his radio listeners, Hill spat on a board room table. After wiping up his spittle with a silk handkerchief, Hill explained that this disgusting episode wouldn't soon be forgotten. George Washington Hill was president of The American Tobacco Company from 1. The 1. 94. 0's most successful advertising slogan, "Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War!," was conceived by Mr. Hill while duck hunting on Monkey Island, North Carolina. Several days earlier Richard Boylan, head of purchasing for ATCo, had informed Hill that there was only a three months' supply of green ink available for printing Lucky Strike labels. Chromium, an element which is essential to solid green ink, was a war material in short supply. Boylan told Hill "Just like the soldiers, green ink has gone to war."George Washington Hill knew that the green Lucky Strike package didn't appeal to women, but he needed a reason to change colors. When Hill found out that there was a shortage of merchant ships able to carry war supplies to England and Russia, and that older wood hulled ships were being pressed into service, he had his reason. Copper paint was used to protect the wooden hulls from marine worm damage, and Hill had just learned that copper was an ingredient in the ink needed for the gold bands on the Lucky Strike label. Eureka! George Hill's new "Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War!" advertising campaign touted the fact that enough bronze (copper and tin alloy) was saved each year to meet the requirements for 4. Lord & Thomas, the Chicago advertising agency that promoted Lucky Strike, received a lot of hate mail because of the patriotic slogan. Critics felt patriotism was being exploited, but Lucky Strike sales did go up dramatically.

All of The Oldest Ones in the Book first recorded after the invention of the Greek alphabet (c. BC) and before the fall of Ancient Rome in the 5th century (c. AD), a period usually called Classical antiquity. Works from this period include. All ancient Greek and Roman myths, literature, and theatre. Some of these stories may have originated before the Greeks invented their alphabet, but the only versions we have come from this period. The Biblenote As the work page explains, some parts of the Torah/Pentateuch probably do originate from as early as 1. BC, but the dating is uncertain, and for simplicity's sake the whole Bible is included on this index. Most of ancient South Asian literature and Hindu Mythology, including. Most surviving examples of ancient Chinese literature, philosophy, and history date to this period. The Zoroastrian holy book, Avesta. The Manichean holy book, Shabuhragan. Note: Tropes originating in other mythologies/religions are not indexed here, as we have no idea whether those stories even existed by the 5th century AD, or what forms they took, centuries before they were first written down. Even Norse and Celtic mythology are only Older Than Print; although they're derived at least in part from earlier (unwritten) stories, the details are fundamentally un- dateable. Early folklorists often started with the assumption that folktales and myths never changed; more research has shown that people can and do modify all sorts of tales for many purposes. A- C Abdicate the Throne: A famous, albeit curious, example appears in The Odyssey. Odysseus, son of Laertes, is the legitimate King of Ithaca. His father Laertes is however still alive in the last chapter. He had retired to his farm, but seems virile enough to take arms. Most scholars agree that Laertes had abdicated the throne in favor of his son, but nowhere does the text explain why. Abduction Is Love: The abduction of Persephone by Hades in Greek Mythology. This married couple of deities is typically depicted as relatively happy, and stable, with few fights and very few stories of infidelity. Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: In Classical Mythology Agamemnon and Clytemnestra didn't wait during The Trojan War, nor remain faithful. Clytemnestra had a good reason, though. Abusive Parents: Common in Classical Mythology. Ouranos and Cronos both imprisoned all their children at birth. Hephaestos in The Iliad tells how his father Zeus threw him off a mountain. Acrisios imprisoned his daughter Danae, then threw her into the sea when she got pregnant anyway. Achilles' Heel: The Big Bad Duryodhana in the Mahabharata, and Talos in Greek Mythology. Also Achilles, the Trope Namer. Achilles in His Tent: Homer's The Iliad; Trope Namer. Acquitted Too Late: In Sophocles' Antigone, Creon realizes Antigone is innocent after she's already committed suicide. Actually, I Am Him: In the The Odyssey, Odysseus returns to Ithaca disguised as a beggar. His first contact with Penelope, has him delivering (false) news concerning her missing husband. Adam and Eve Plot: The Book of Genesis casts the Sons of Noah (Ham, Japheth, and Shem) and their unnamed wives in this role. The Adam and Eve story from the same book is not however a particularly good example. Neither of the two was a survivor from a previous group, nor did they struggle against extinction. Adipose Rex: King Eglon from The Bible (Judges 3). An Aesop: Ancient Greek folktales, notably Aesop's Fables, have these. Age Without Youth: Tithonos of Greek Mythology ages forever without dying, after a botched wish. The Cumaean Sibyl is cursed with the same after spurning Apollo. A. I. Is a Crapshoot: Genesis 3 and the fall of Adam and Eve. Akashic Records: A repository of ultimate knowledge on another plane of existence. In other words, The Internet!

The Alcatraz: Tartarus in Greek Mythology is the prison- ward of The Underworld where the Titans, some monsters, and a few particularly malevolent mortals were kept forever (and generally tortured).

All Girls Want Bad Boys: The Odyssey contains a well known Greek story: Aphrodite, though married to the smith- god Hephaestus, much prefers the bloody war- god Ares and has a long affair. All Just a Dream: Zhuangzi. All of the Other Reindeer: Hephaestus was either born crippled and abandoned at birth, or born ugly and crippled when his father threw him off of Olympus. In The Iliad the other gods mock him for his lameness. A Homeric Hymn has Hera describe her son with disgust. He still manufactures most of their great weapons. All Planets Are Earthlike: Showed up in the first space travel story ever, A True History by 2nd century author Lucian. This is excusable because the telescope wouldn't be invented until the Renaissance.) Not only is the moon Earthlike, but so is the Sun. Almighty Janitor: The Mahabharata (4th century BCE) has Vishnu's human avatar, Krishna, becoming the humble charioteer of the epic's hero Prince Arjuna. Among other things, he teaches Arjuna all about Hindu philosophy and convinces him to rejoin the fight after a Heroic B. S. O. D. (in a pep talk that forms the bulk of the spiritual text the Bhagavad Gita). Almost Dead Guy: A Greek legend, based looooosely on the historical Marathon run. Alternative Character Interpretation: The Gospel Of Judas does this with Judas, compared to a lot of other Christian texts. Classical Mythology is full of this, since nearly every story has at least a couple versions all by different authors with their own versions of each god and hero.

Ancient Grome: The Romans themselves would place plays in Athens or other Greek cities, to avoid slandering the state, but leave everything else Roman- like. And I Must Scream: Tityos and Prometheus suffer horrible torture in Greek Mythology. Tityos suffers forever; Prometheus is bound forever or for several centuries, Depending on the Writer. And Now You Must Marry Me: A Real Life custom found in many cultures around the world — anthropologists call it "marriage by abduction" or "bridal theft". Appears in The Bible in the abduction of the Shiloh women, and the rape of Dinah in Genesis 3. The Romans had their Rape of the Sabine Women. And Your Little Dog, Too!: Hector killing Patroclus in The Iliad. Androcles' Lion: Aesop's Fables; Trope Namer. Angel Unaware: Lot's houseguests in Sodom (Genesis 1.

Attempted Rape: In The Odyssey, the giant Tityos is tortured forever in Tartaros for trying to rape the goddess Leto. Author Avatar: Cratinus (5. BC) himself was the protagonist in his (sadly lost) comedy The Wine- Flask. Author Filibuster: The plot of The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius Platonicus wraps up early with the last chapter spent talking about how awesome the cult of Isis was, of which Apuleius just happened to be a member. OR, Apuleius was making fun of the cults as elaborate cons to part gullible persons (like the hero Lucius) from their money. Ax- Crazy: Referenced by Socrates.
