It was the week before Thanksgiving. Lindsay and I were sitting up late watching TV, as we are want to do, when a commercial came on. In it, a man in a turkey suit danced around in front of strobing colors singing "gobblegobblegobblegobblegobble." Half to myself I mused "I wonder if this is for KFC." Lindsay stared at me in incredulous silence. "You do know that's supposed to be a turkey right?" And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I am untouchable by the advertising industry; I am simply too far from this world to be reached. The poor man might as well have been screaming "TURKEYTURKEYTURKEYTURKEY!!!!" and I would have assumed it was a watch commercial. Oh, and for the record, "too far from this world" is shorthand for "dumb as a fucking post."

Them: Did you see the--
Me: No.

Them: Oh man, did you see that one with the --
Me: No.

Them: Hey, do you remember that one commercial from the 90s that --
Me: Oh, that one with the kid with the funny jacket?
Them: No.
Me: Then no.
