Is it my imagination? Or is a certain bald genie type dude, getting better looking as time goes by? I vaguely remember watching commercials with him in them as a child, while my mom ironed. But it seems to me he looked a lot different then. I just don't remember him being that darn attractive back then.
We have all seen some actors and singers make some drastic transformations over the years, but I am beginning to think a certain genie is becoming a bit of butterfly himself. Hasn't that he gone from a plain whirlwind type genie, to a rather buff looking bald dude, over the years?
But it seems to me, that he is getting beyond just the buff stage lately. Is he getting more attractive because I'm not really seeing him as well as I did I when I was a youngster, and my glasses weren't as strong as they are now? Or is he is really improving with age? Or I am getting to be a dirty old woman? I just don't remember looking at him quite the same as a child, then, even as a young woman, as I do now.
I have been buying that certain brand of cleaner for years in the hope that one day when I opened the bottle, I would get a big bald genie type dude that would clean my house and possibly perform other chores for me. But it wasn't until the last few years I started redefining in my mind, some of those other chores. It wasn't only that baldy kept getting better looking though, that made me take a look at just what type of chores he might be useful at, it was also the smug smile on the face of that happy housewife in that one commercial.
I had come to the conclusion that happy smug smiling little housewife in that one commercial, was keeping him locked in a closet and away from the rest of us girls, until I saw that car commercial on T.V. the other day. Soon as I saw him standing there winking at me, I knew why he was too busy appear at my house. And since they did ask what I would call him, "Smug", that is what I would call him. Both him and that happy little housewife. You don't see that happy housewife's husband looking very smug now, do you? No you don't, heck, you don't even see her husband at all. Maybe Leo better be glad baldy didn't decide to appear in any ads for Titanic. Leo might not be looking so smug as he is right now, if baldy had muscled in on his action.
Seeing all this lead me to ponder the following questions. Is that her house he is coming out of in that car commercial? If it is her house, is this the first time he has been outside that house in who knows when. How does her husband feel about all this? Who gets to drive the new car? What brand of tennis shoes is that buff bald guy going to be wearing in future commercials? And, will he next be telling us not to leave home without it?
Whatever the answer to these questions, it is a sure bet he is going to be too busy to appear at my place any time soon. Think I'll start paying closer attention to the commercials on the television, and make an informed decision about what new cleaning product to switch to next time I go shopping.
