Desperate Last-Minute Gift Buying 2 of 2

But let's face it, you're out of options.  It's time to pick over what's left.  Like tape.

6. Texcel cellophane tape, 1950s.   This is a truly beautiful, simple, effective ad, all four main colors boldly used.

Get them while they're young, for a life of drudgery!

That cigarette ad is just plain dirty. I keep thinking there's some double entendre with "inhale" that I'm just not aware of.

I don't know, she just looks unconscious or dead to me. :(

Maybe she inhaled too much...

Ruins the joke during a smoke.

Or she's trying to admire his envelope.

(I never knew Johnson & Johnson's made regular sort of tape.)

6. I just got back from buying tape! Really!

7. Four-color pens always remind me of my favorite teacher, Mrs. Wyatt. But hers were the basic plastic kind. I need to hunt one of those Normandys down and get one for her.

8. In such fashionable colors! People will hardly notice the nicotine stains.

9. What? You mean I could get my kids stuff that will make them work like indentured servants and they'll be totally cool with that? Okay, breathe. There's still time. Walmart's going to be open for several hours so I have enough time to exchange the XBox games for miniature cleaning supplies.

10. Ha ha ha! Based on the position of the woman's head, I'd say, oh, yeah, she definitely does!

I wonder what going on with the the woman on the last ad. Gee,thank mom for giving me a mini push broom.
