I sometimes have the TV on, for nothing but mindless noise, and occasionally, amusement.  Today I heard a slew of funny commercials.  The first that caught my ear, was for something called a SNUGGIE.   There were all these seemingly reasonable adults, all hopping about, in what looked like brightly-colored-velour-full-body-sleeping-bags-for-monks.   “When I get home, nothing tops my day off more than cuddling in my Snuggie.”…. the Stepford Wife cooed.  Well, I do suppose that’s one way to top off your day.

Then….. then…. then….. there was a commercial for, maybe bubble bath?  (I hit it half way through.)  “Escape from it all…..” a big baritone voice from the sky says, as a blonde woman splashes herself in a bathtub, smack-dab in the middle of a rain forest.  What the heck???  That makes NO sense.  Escape from it all.  They need a dude in stripes scaling the wall at Alcatraz.  Or somebody busting butt down a fire escape.  Now THAT’S escaping from it all…..

Don’t even get me started on that bunch of choosy moms who choose Jif.

This is a cool escape, I’ll tell you.
