Surrendering every vessel of manhood is easy when one has a new Dodge Charger to fall back on. Though I'll bet that not a single guy reading this will promise something to the extreme of putting the seat down. Every time.
Dogs are a lot smarter than humans; especially human chew toys that like to torture them into barking for a snack. The commercial message gets better next year when the dogs carry neuter rings instead of anti-bark collars.
Beavers have much more talent than just being able to change the course of might rivers. They are some of the most musically talented creatures on the planet. However, images of them in a mobile hot tub with a scorching hot blond are just plain wrong. Albeit legal in several California counties.
Never taunt your football-playing buddy that he catches like Betty White. Now only will he slap you back with a serious taunt about your girlfriend, but you will then magically transform into Abe Vigoda and forced to continue living off the residuals from "Barney Miller" reruns.

The Simpsons have not only jumped the shark, but they jumped it, harpooned it, turned it into filets, covered the pieces with cheap breading, and started handing out scraps for bird cage fodder. When they want us start feeling sorry for Mr. Burns, time to close the Quick-E-Mart permanently.
