Nothing sucks like a Hoover!

And this is supposed to have actually been used by a Washington, DC funeral home in their 1920-30s radio ads:

Chambers caskets are so fine,
Made of sandal-wood and pine.
When your loved ones pass away,
Have them pass the Chambers way.
If your loved ones have to go,
Just call COlumbus-6-5-0h.
Chambers customers all sing,
"Death, oh death, where is thy sting?

(To the tune of "Rock of Ages."


And on another topic mentioned here:
The instructions for the © and ® given above, the ones with "tic-tac-toe" in 'em, are two or three hard-to-remember keystrokes longer than the alt+ASCII numbers version. I also don't know what some of those keys are, to boot. Seems to me that learning alt-0169 or alt-0174 would be easier.
