I believe that the logic of my argument entails that you and Tim do not now and never have existed. Clearly I said that no one in America has different pain relievers for different pains. Sorry. I’m not listening to you anymore.

Jeff–
That’s hilarious. Ah! Ha!
I love it. Staying in shape isn’t an option. That is entirely too good!
And “she has” works grammatically, so no need to beat yourself up about it too much. (E.g., “What do you have on Line 7, George?” -”I’ve got, ‘Exercise is not an option’. Is that wrong?” -”Nah. We’ll keep it.”)

I'm mocking somebody else's poor choice with words and I wrote "she has" instead of "she says" in the middle of that comment. Someday, I ought to try that whole wacky "proof reading" thing that everybody keeps talking about. Nice.

They've enlisted the help of some sort of calendar model, who not only stars in the commercial but apparently wrote her own script. (oops. That was so stereotyping.) Anyway, she has "I'm a model, and in my field, staying in shape is not an option." I gather she means that "staying in shape is not optional." But what she actually says is, of course, much funnier. Those poor models. They apparently aren't allowed to stay in shape. Who knew? Airbrushing and digital technology must be more advanced than I thought.

BUT, I think I'm one of those people advil could be talking to. Because acetaminophen is *supposed to be* better for aches and pains, and ibuprofen is better for swelling, naproxin is good for something else (but gives me stomach aches), etc. Anyhoo... :) maybe this comes from marrying a doctor's son...
