Got it; thanks, Sam. It's too funny for words (and pretty much what I expected).

But you forgot to include 'The Potty Patch'! (My daughter has a new puppy - now I've found the perfect present for her. Heehee )

HOW have I managed to live this long without a Bacon Genie, I ask myself? And Bright Feet Lighted Slippers and an Ageless Sleep Pillow are also on my Christmas wish-list!

Sam, this will win or I'll eat my groutinator.

John, are these ads (or similar ones) seen in England? If so, I may wish for some success from Dame Lucy. But I will arrange the lyrics for the annual English Dept. Christmas party, if I can find 12 good men and women true. It's not quite as bad as singing madrigals, right?
