Okay, seriously, I got a big hearty laugh out of the comment from dude who told his wife that she was lucky to stay home with the kids and not have real work. Like a maniacal, at-his-expense, that-was-clever-of-the-writers laugh.
I have to add that I’m not fan of commercials that make women look like twits for jewelry and men incapable of common sense, but bad gifts are still funny. Yes, I’d be ticked if I got a vacuum cleaner. My husband has my book wishlist, so we’re safe here.
Jules: Payback for the “Judy Blume’s last book” SNL skit you sent me to on your own site. :)
marta: I know — the whole thing, even at this distance, retains a faint scent of Ward and June Cleaver. But I still laugh at “Leave It to Beaver” re-runs, too!

I used to sell jewelry at JC Penney–and I don’t even care about diamonds. But I did laugh.
