Wednesday Vignette: Can't Do a Thing With It!
How is it that I can remember this commercial from 1968 so well and often forget what I did yesterday?
Somehow seeing this in my garden always reminds makes me say, "I've just washed my hair and I can't do a thing with it."

OMG!!! That's hilarious. The commercial, and your memory...
ReplyDeleteI am saying the same thing too ... you are hilarious Peter ! How on earth did you find that commercial ? .. I can't recall seeing it but OMG ! .. that is too funny. Can I apply that to my whole life ? hahaha
ReplyDeleteI remember that catchphrase but I don't remember that specific commercial. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the reason you remember this and not what you did yesterday is because you are getting O.L.D.
ReplyDeleteIt happens to the best of us!
DeleteYou do so well in matching plants with your head pots! As to your memory, it's phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember that commercial. I love your planter tho.
ReplyDeleteClearly you need a bandana plant to complete the ensemble. I remember my dad's car license plate from my school days.
ReplyDeleteHehe, it's funny what sticks and what doesn't. My short term memory really isn't what it used to be, either. Good news is, we have lots of understanding company. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Jeez. I don't remember that commercial (I must have been too young lol) but now the one where 'they told two friends and so on and so on' is stuck in my head. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I remember that commercial too. I must have spent too much time in front of the television!
DeleteI remember that commercial, although I was very young. ;-) Memory is a weird thing. I remember a doll that got lost in a move when I was about two years old. The memory of being disappointed about it is as clear as day.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that catch phrase, but not that specific commercial. But making connections to the past is always fun.
ReplyDeleteI remember the commercial and I thought it would be so cool if I could wash my hair and five seconds later I'm combing through the luxurious strands of bouncy curls. Apparently, I didn't believe it enough to actually BUY the shampoo. It was a sham(poo).
