"You know those Germans......."

There is a commercial on TV for a super absorbent, washable towel that can soak up all of the water out of an Olympic sized pool. (Sarcasm, folks.) Anyway, it's called Shamwow! (I'm not excited about the product. The exclamation point is part of the name.) Whenever the commercial comes on TV, Rick and I get a good laugh from this one line in particular.

"Made in Germany. You know those Germans always make good stuff."

Perhaps it is funny because Rick is German. If you haven't seen the commercial, here it is. This guy is a hoot and at one point addresses the "camera guy." I can't figure out why Vince has on a headset microphone. Maybe it looks more hi-tech than an overhead boom mic.

In December of 2005, Rick and I were fortunate to see TSO in concert compliments of Brad and Gina. If you ever have the opportunity to see them jump at the chance. Below is a video of "Christmas Canon Rock."
