You Know, She’s Right… #1LinerWeds

Nothing in life prepares you for getting out of a beanbag chair in your 50s.

One-Liner Wednesday is brought to you each week by Linda Hill and this station. Now a word from Raleigh cigarettes. Look for the pack with the coupon on the back!

Nothing prepares you when you’re a teen either. Design flaw chair if I ever saw one. 🙂

  There’s a special place in Hades for the person who invented the beanbag chair…
  
  I’m at the point where I really should use one of those chairs that helps you stand up.

First it was a beanbag chair. Now it is any chair.

I hated those beanbag chairs when I was in my 20s..hahaaa. OMG! That commercial just blew my mind not only with the bad acting but how much those ads were on tv for so long. I guess they didn’t want to 5alm about how one smelled like a cigarette, yellow fingers, yellow teeth never mind COPD, cancer etc,,.

  No one over the age of 16 should sit in a beanbag chair.

Ha! Good one! Also, the ad takes me way back and you know some of the best commercials were for cigarettes.

  Oh yeah… Kools with the penguin, “Winston Tastes Good Like A Cigarette Should,” “Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch!” “I’d walk a mile for a Camel,” “Show us your Lark,” “This is Marlboro Country,” etc. “The Flintstones” was originally sponsored by Winston cigarettes, and there are a couple of examples of the commercials they did on YouTube.

Yesterday, I had to get on the ground to change the tire on my utility trailer. The ground is a lot lower than I remember.

I sent the ad to my wife. She’s doing yard work all wrong.

  What, she’s not doing it in a skirt and blouse and carrying a pack of Raleighs with her?

      I wonder how many people collected Green Stamps that never ended up cashing them in for anything….
