One size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills
You tired of kitchen drudgery
Skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it?
How do we do it?
Volume! volume!
Turn up the volume!

That's right it filets
It chops, it dices, it slices
It never stops
Lasts a lifetime,
And it mows your lawn
It picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
It gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers the pizza
And it lengthens
And it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been lodged under the
Chaise lounge for several weeks

It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar...

If not completely satisfied

You can
Live in it
Laugh in it
Love in it
Swim in it
Sleep in it
Live in it
Swim in it
Laugh in it
Love in it
And it removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets
That's right
And it entertains visiting relatives
It turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party
Change your shorts
Change your life
Change into a 9 year old Hindu boy
Get rid of your wife

And it walks your dog
And it doubles on sax

It gets rid of your gambling debts
It quits smoking
It's a friend, it's a companion
It's the only product you will ever need

It never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips
Bust
Thighs
Chin
Midriff
Gives you dandruff
And it finds you a job
It is a job

It's new, it's improved, it's old fashioned
Well it takes care of business
Never needs winding
Never needs winding
Never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, heartbreak, and psoriasis
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak buddy

'Cause it's effective
It's defective

It disinfects
It's sanitised for your protection
It gives you an erection
It wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer
It's a redeemable coupon

No salesman will visit your home

Didn't notice until you pointed it out. Thanks for ruining the joke. <kidding>

Just a typo is my guess. Yes you can make a typo when hand-writing (not typing)!

Someone needs to inform the cartoonist so he can publish a corrected version.

So, some people find these "pearl" cartoons funny, huh? Different strokes I guess, de gustibus and all that.

I like to think I can laugh at myself and other cyclists, but I just find these lame, petty, and utterly lacking a quality I call "humor".

I'm glad I don't have to come up with a funny comic 7 days a week, sounds impossible, so maybe I'm expecting too much. Bill Watterson somehow pulled it off though! I still grieve for the end of Calvin & Hobbes.

Swerving back on topic (I hope!):

I don't know who David Boucher is, but I loved this video. Singer's hyper-active knees are to be noted. Bass had a nice, round tone. Guy on the telecaster had the right stuff. I am wondering if David Boucher is related to football phenom Bobby Boucher? I like when the bimbettes entered.
