So here I am, recovering from lunch and listening to CNN, AKA the Opinion Channel.
Along with oft-repeated commercials from companies too cheap to actually pay for new ones.
One such is the insurance company hawking cheap insurance, using a commercial doubtless filmed when TVs meant round screens with lots of snow.
The commercial? 'Remember the three Ps."
Seriously. Followed by an inexpensive 'actress', who dutifully asks 'What are the three Ps?"
With a line like that, I couldn't resist. Seriously, I couldn't, although it took me a few moments to think of three words that start with 'p'.
Piss, first, as in piss on it, but what else?
I came up with procure and panic. Now all I needed was a scenario that will never be filmed. Trust me, never!
Procure? A plant, of course! But that leaves panic, and a reasonable scene to fill a few seconds of air time.
Perfect! Scene, a hotel room with people milling around. (another p, you realize, and I know you're counting!) Free beer, for those who aren't politicking or PowerPointing. (Zounds!)
Peril! Free pints, remember?
Ah! A plant! In fact, rather a large plant that even Superman would love if he was caught short with no place (!!!) to change. And panic, because just as you're about to...but the couple walks by, without pointing at the lurker (you got that one yourself, right?) And...wait for it...they. pass precipitously, leaving our hero the opportunity to...
Piss in the Potted Palm!
(you'll never again watch that annoying commercial with a straight face!)
Don't thank me. Really.
But if you feel like sending money?
