F'rinstance
Let's say that you have been spiffing up your apartment recently. You bought a new bookshelf and assembled it yourself. You (finally!) installed some beautiful display shelves that you received for a birthday gift, which took forever because you don't have a level, and they're still not 100% even but damn it, they're up. You brought curtains and curtain rods up from Poway for your living room. You discovered that the rods were too short for the 9' window in your living room, so you schlepped to Home Depot and bought more rods. You opened them up, put the curtains on the rods, and held them up to the windows to see how they looked. At this point, and only at this point, did you realize that the curtains are in fact about two feet too short for the windows. Upon said realization, you put down the curtain and lay prone on the floor, crippled by the weight of your own stupidity.
At this point, wouldn't you be glad that you have a bulldog who will heft herself up from the couch and trundle on over to lick your face? Even if you think being licked on the face is massively gross? You know, hypothetically.
On an unrelated note, this Swiffer WetJet commercial makes me kind of sad! I feel kind of like Annette for even saying this, but I feel bad for the mop! This is surely not the commercial's intended effect. I mean, check it out:
If I were an attractive, well-coiffed housefrau in my early 30s, I think that bringing me chocolates and flowers would really win me over. I would definitely not roll my eyes at the Candygram. I mean, come on! That's really sweet! If I didn't alreadt have a mop, I would go out and get one after watching this. Heck, maybe I need another one, just as a backup. Besides, Bailey's jowls are way more efficacious than a Swiffer anyway. She picks up dust bunnies like you wouldn't believe.
I wanted to post another commercial, with data being presented in the form of distance dogs could jump into a swimming pool, but I can't find it. But let me tell you, THAT is a commercial.
Maybe I've been watching too much TV (that is to say, any TV at all). Time to hit the books.
