I really hate this commercial when it comes on the radio. Here's how it goes, along with my imagined audience response:
"I graduated- Valedictorian of my class" (wow, I'm just an average, underachiever... I wish I was him!)
"I met my wife while scaling Mt. Whatever" (wow, wish I was him!)
"We shared our first kiss at the summit" (wow, wish I was him!)
"I started my own business at 20" (wow, wish I was him!)
"I retired at 50" (wow, wish I was him!)
"And now I'm ready to address my latest challenge: E.D.!"( Er, nevermind!!)
