The commercial is the one where a big dog runs in and climbs up on the couch. It reminded me of something a buddy did while I was in the USAF and I started laughing. Whereupon my dear wife began to think I'd lost it....until I explained. Seems my old friend had the same problem with their dog, coming in from outside and while still a mess would jump on the couch. He didn't mind if the mutt had been cleaned up, but that didn't happen often so he wanted to break him completely. We both worked the late shift in our shop and since we were in an electronics field, it didn't take much for him to come up with a pressure sensitive switch attached to a method of shocking. He took it home, unzipped the cover on one of the couch pillows and snuggled the device under the cover but on top of the pillow inside. First time the dog jumped on the couch he got a fair sized zap and took off yowling and biting at his butt. You'd think that would be the end of it but nooooo.....he failed to tell his wife about the device. While he's outside tending to his mutt, he suddenly hears a scream from inside, followed by a string of profanity that would make your ears burn and eyes water. She had walked in with a tray of food and while it was still in hand, sat down. He laughed until he was sick but as you can imagine, his wife was NOT amused. So, after all these years to my old friend Walt, wherever you are old buddy.....are you still sleeping on the couch. I crack up every time I think of that episode.
