Jebus Cripes Already

Dear Hallmark, Hershey's, FTD et al:

Why don't you just declare February "VALENTINE'S MONTH" and get it over with?

I hate your candy hearts,

Dave

Embarrassing fact: it took me YEARS to realize that the point of that jingle was a spelling pun. I thought they were actually saying that no one gets a kiss unless you buy jewelry from them, so I just tuned those commercials out entirely for making such a ridiculous claim.

Sometimes I R Dum.

During the December Holiday onslaught, My youngster and I sang it as "Every Knife begins with Kay!"

Agree completely on this holiday. As the kid put it, "What a great idea! Let's devote a whole day to making people feel inadequate!"

I am glad to know I'm not the only one who was a little slow to catch that.

The same thing happened with that expression for lost things, "It'll be in the last place you look." I would just sort of laugh uncomprehendingly when people said that to me, because I thought it was just one of those dumb old sayings that make no sense. I mean, it's still a dumb old saying, but it kind of makes sense.

OK. So I'm not the only one. V actually had to sit me down and explain this to me. I felt really dumb. She still laughs whenever the commercial comes on and I look sheepish.

If there are so many of us that didn't get it, it MUST be the jingle's fault.

I think it's due to the nausea induced by the sickly sweetness of it. It makes us dizzy and unable to think clearly. :)
