- There was one for Lincoln in which a guy was cutting a valuable

- Saturday Night Live (I think) did a wicked parody of this ad in

- car was bouncing over some potholes. Naturally, you couldn't see
- the job being done, but at the decisive moment, the rabbi exclaims
- "Poifect!" and you hear the sound of a baby crying.
