...Currently the best example of this type is the ad in which a blonde looks straight through the camera and coos, "Take it off. Take it off. Take it all off!" while the music rips through a bump-and-grind melody. Of course she is really talking to some guy shaving with Noxzema, and she is referring to his beard. At first it seems wrong.

So Victor Krulak persuaded a buddy to hit him on the head in hopes of raising a bump big enough to narrow the stature gap. That ploy failed, so-bloody but unbowed-Krulak petitioned and won the right to join the U.S. Marines as the shortest man in the corps.

All of the thousand or so cars with curtained windows that bump along Albania's dusty roads are government-owned, usually contain bureaucrats and their drivers. Even the tiny Czechoslovakian veterinary service has somehow managed to acquire 900 chauffeured cars. As a sop to socialist equality, the bureaucrat often rides in the front seat beside his driver, who is nonetheless expected to hop out and open the door for him. Throughout the East bloc...
