Don't cool your jets!

I get daily discount deals by e-mail. Nothing wrong with these bargains, but who on earth writes their ad copy? This one was too rich to keep to myself:

When pilot lights go out, it is because they lack ample
core strength, a failure that results in uncooked pilots.
Keep your pilot light burning bright with today's deal

Reality Man is not asleep at the wheel, although he may drowse. He has recently been upset by Holmes and Watson being turned into action heroes. "Uncooked pilots?" To paraphrase Kirkegaard, I think, about that which I cannot speak authoritatively I must remain silent. And I still cannot countenance anyone, man or woman, screwing around in their bags, purses, or whatever at stoplights and ignoring the fact that the light has changed. Where was I going with this? Purses?

That is certainly an unusually worded ad. Sounds as if it was written by someone for whom English is a second language and then they tried to make some plays on words! Uncooked pilots???LOL!

Thanks for the comment, Judy. I appreciate you sending your trainer to my photos and I hope she finds something she likes. Tell her that almost anything goes with champagne dresses - but more color is better - otherwise pale flowers fade into the background.
