Wow, a $25 car? Men having to be good looking in order to get hired? A dude enjoying a bath? It's like Bizarro World!

I'll take him! It's not his face I'm after, anyway.

Y'know, if conspicuously-placed-machine man had a moustache, I'd think it was creepy. I mean, it probably still is, but... I totally would.

The address on that ad is eerily too close to my new place.

980 North La Cienega (which is now in West Hollywood, a city that didn't exist until 1984) is now a restaurant.

Zits aren't always just confined to the face, you know. ;)

"Hair suck"!

Uh, huh-huh-huh.

I believe the word in question is "slick."

Oh, I know. It's the reason most comics avoid the word "FLICK" in their lettering.

I was expecting "sexy exercise" to be a sex-based exercise program, with different positions designed to work the different muscle groups. I was actually kind of disappointed.

I was born in 1953 and my dad took baths instead of showers until I was 10. The house we lived in didn't have a shower, in fact a lot of houses had tubs, but no showers. The first ad looks as if it was from that time period.
