for one, if he took the pill, he has fours hours to get home,to use it. second, he drives a dodge, lol

All they want you to notice is the light in the upstairs window when he pulls into the yard.

i expect that the people who wrote the comercial missed the fact that the dodge featured was a 4x4, and should not have been stuck with that little trailer in that mudhole to begin with, ive got plenty of trucks stuck, but never in that shallow a mud hole

An even sillier "blue pill" commercial is the guy in the overheating Camaro- pulls into a service station and BUYS a big ole bottle of water to put in. Why not just use the hose for free? And since when can you pull into a service station when your car overheats in the desert? In real life, there isn't a station within 100 miles!

I know higher authorities will dis agree, but I was told many moons ago, that military vehicles with 2 or 3 powered axles were left in 2 wheel drive until slipping, then engage 4 or 6 by 6 to get out of the mess, not continue on in it. That idea was always ingoned by all from the begining. If it is used as a toy, they should go for it. If you say- live up by Lyle and bison, on a winter night, you could be as dead as a stuck soldier. Speaking of Canucks. I used to work with an older guy on PEI, he was in the Canadian Army artillery. Their policy was not like GI's, if the piece was stuck, they didn't put a thermal grenade in the breech, they stayed with it until it got 'unstuck'. He was with that howitzer outsde of Naples for nearly a year, one day a USA tracked tank rescue stopped by and pulled them out. Then they had to rejoin the war. Which ended a few weeks later. Nice while it lasted eh? Chiao pisanos

The little blue pill increases blood flow to areas other than the brain, so maybe he wasn't thinking too clearly.

The other "take charge" commercial with the car always strikes me as a bit of a bummer.

How do you get stuck in a puddle anyway?

My 4 year old tobie said the same thing- " why doesn't he just push the button like you do, dad?"
