grilling on the carpet

Traveling south for the Labor day weekend I must have been tired. Interesting ads kept popping up on the radio. The first one was for some carpet cleaning service. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something like this: "After all your summertime grilling, you're going to want to get your carpet cleaned. You should call 1-800-why did I grill in the living room?" I was pondering that one and wondering how many in the listening audience actually had their grill in the living room, or on the carpet anywhere, when the next ad came on. It was for mud jacking your sidewalk. Now I'm not entirely clear on that concept to begin with but they started out by saying that "You don't want those unsightly large holes in your sidewalk." And I was thinking "No, I'd rather have sightly small ones in mine." Clearly I'm not the target audience on these ads, and perhaps I'm listening to the wrong radio station. I need a product that keeps ants out of my hummingbird feeder. But then again, maybe this is part of the all out frontal assault.
