Hello Dave, (First, thanks for quoting FZ) Who are the Canadian Tire Couple who have been mentioned at various times in this group? I was not able to load the link provided. Thanks in advance for this future enlightenment.

If you can find the video of Rick Mercer demonstrating the Canvasser Prod as the Canadian Tire guy, watch it.
Tom: What's that Bob? Bob: It's an electric Canvasser Prod, new from Canadian Tire. Tom: Canvassser Prod? How's that work? Bob: Just like a cattle prod, just 700 more volts. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!!!!!

Beethoven was so deaf that every time he was playing the piano, he thought he was painting.

I have a feeling many Canadians, like me, would dive for the remote when those commercials would come on the air. I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but when I do, I sure as hell don't want to be bombarded by those ads.
This is funny too:
