I’m Never….

In a recent TV ad, the main character makes a series of “I’m never…” statements.  But, then he ends up doing the very thing that he said he wouldn’t do.  Finally at the end of the ad, he says to his wife that he is “never letting her go”.

Everyone thinks that this is a romantic ending.  But really, when you think about it, you realize that he has never kept any of his “never” proclamations.  So why would you expect him to keep the last one?

Chewy Noodles.

The other day, I had a cup of instant chicken noodle soup.  Over the years, I have found that the trick to this instant soup is to let it steep a little before eating it.  And so I did with this package.  But even after a few minutes, I noticed that some of the noodles were just plain tough and chewy.

After I had finished with the soup, I checked the empty package and noted that it had expired in 2011.  Then I remembered that last time that I ate instant soup that had expired.  It had worms in it.

I wonder.

Rent Me!

When I first saw this sign, I wondered why anyone would want to rent a mower for only 75 minutes.  But then I realized that they were advertizing renting a truck to haul the lawnmower after you had purchased it.

Bug Light.

We all know how annoying it is in the summer time when bugs get into your house and land inside of you light globe.  Well, this light fixture comes with it s very own built in bugs.  I wonder it if will scare off the real bugs?

And A Private Bathroom.

Hotels, with online listings, always try to point out all of the features that they offer.  And, they usually include such things as a coffee maker, safe, microwave and a refrigerator.  But, I was a bit surprised when one hotel chain announced that they had private bathrooms.

WOW! what a novel concept.  I wonder if the bathroom is in the room?
