After writing this lead in, I was tempted to follow it with a non-sequiter: "Just pour yourself a Dewar's."
Then I remembered the story by the great humorist, Peter DeVries, "The Cat's Pajamas" in which he tells the story of Hank Tattersall, an academic who quits his faculty job to become an ad man. Tattersall invents what he calls "commercials of the Absurd": "Are you tired of detergents that don't get your wash really white? Light up a Kent." "Are you sick of the performance of your present car? Does it burn so much oil you're beginning to think the damn thing is part Diesel? Is there so much sludge in your crankcase you can hear the bearings groan inside it? Pour yourself a drink of Cutty Sark, the man's Scotch."
