This morning I saw a sign in a vendor warehouse and it read “Take me away.” I pointed out the sign to my sales rep and said, “Oh it’s just like the Calgon commercial years ago.”
A blank stare comes around the dudes face and he’s like, “Huh?”
Horrified that I had just dated myself, I tried to explain to him what I was talking about. “You know, like the commercials for Calgon body soap and bubble bath? – Calgon, take me away…??”
Still, there was no recollection and my 25 year old sales rep was clearly oblivious to the witty remark I attempted to make. (whatever)
Later while we were at another press and talking to the press men we had another ‘age incident’. The model in the photo had a very close look to Valerie Bertinellie and the press men operating the press made a comment as such. My young buck of a sale rep again was like, “Who’s that?”
Astounded, I retorted, “Who doesn’t know who she is? She was on ‘One Day At A Time’ AND she married Eddie Van Halen for the love of Pete!”
In another attempt to jog his memory I mention the Jenny Craig commercials with the chick from Cheers and he finally gets it.
Finally.
Crap. I’m old.
