    I used to get those at Christmas, and it went along the lines of

    "you must have seen the advert, it was on TV last night!"

    Therein lies several broad assumptions.

    1) I watched whatever programme that caused your brain to become an unusable mass of goo
    2) I wasn't pulling my usual 14 hour Christmas shifts (promptly followed by eat. Bed.)
    3) I even watch TV.
    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

      People are funny how they assume you know everything about all the TV commercials. I once got a call from a lady who wanted to know who the singer was on "that one commercial".

      ... okay...
      I get that a lot from friends and people I talk to.
      "Haha, it's like in that one commercial!"
      "Um, I don't actually have a TV."
      "You don't? I thought you lived in a house! With cable!"
      "We do. The cable is for the internet. I just don't find TV necessary, or all that entertaining really."

        A chewing gum with a liquid center? I remember that from the 70s.
        Yep, they still make Freshen-up....and you can buy it on Amazon!

        I like that one and Tidal Wave, too. Goddess, I feel so old!

        Aw, crap. I just found one of the commercials for Tidal Wave and I remember it! It was an Indiana Jones spoof, which means it was from probably around 1981.

          When do I get my mind-reading kit?
          Um, it doesn't come with a brain for the customer to use, so it's pretty useless, actually.

            SC: So you're not going to give me the number.
            Ugh, I hate when say something like that, esp. "your not going to help me?" After spending more than 10 min telling them why the library is n't the place for their problem.

            One of many, yes. She was one of my dumber callers, right up there with the guy who gave me ALL the information I asked for on the BowFlex line before finally asking why I couldn't just tell him the number of the room in which his daughter was supposed to be recovering from surgery.
            Wait, what?
            Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

            Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.
