SHAG Me, Baby, Yeah!

The following is a commercial that interupted my daily showing of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.

An old guy with white hair and a brown mustache wearing a cowboy hat, black leather jacket and a faded bandana fills the screen.

"Hi. I'm Stuart Anderson. I'd like to tell you about a wonderful non-profit organization. The Senior Housing Assitance Group, or SHAG.

"Next, you see two elderly ladies with their arms draped over each other's shoulders. They are happy. Very happy.

"SHAG is dedicated to providing secure and affordable retirement housing for seniors age 62 and older throughout the Puget Sound region."

A group of senior citizens are gathered around a table playing cards. They are ecstatic!

"Give SHAG a call and tell them Stuart sent you!"

Everyone needs a little SHAG in their life and the old people agree. They couldn't be happier. Really. You should have seen the HUGE grins on their faces! Wonder if they call themselves SHAGers. It would be great if they advertised that they had a certified team of SHAG staff.

I swear...I could not have made that up if I tried. Cullen and I die laughing every time we see this commercial.
