"Dr Ross

Dog food is dog-gone Good!

WOOF!"

We heard that 50's commercial more than a few times in Missouri. 
Gary, Dan, and the three older kids were all driving home in one car and were laughing when we met up with them.  Gary had been entertaining them the whole drive with jingles or one-liners from old commercials.  As anyone who knows Gary can testify, if you get him started and encourage him with your laughter, he really gets on a roll. 

Here are some classics we heard from him and then from the kids.   (I think it was a very wise law that banned cigarette commercials.  These three stuck with Gary, even though he's not a smoker.)

"Winston tastes good (smack, smack) 

like a cigarette should."

  
"I'd rather fight than switch!"

This was probably the kids favorite:

"Bryl-creem, a little dab'll do ya,

Bryl-creem, you'll look so debonair.

Bryl-creem, the gals will all pursue ya,

They'll love to RUN their fingers through your hair."

 

 I'll end with this classic theme song.  

If you don't know the words, you were born after 1965.

 Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed

A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars . . .
