leaf blower A while ago an idea for a TV ad popped into my head. It was so vivid that I feel like it must be a real ad that I just don't remember having seen, but I can find no evidence that is true.

The ad opens with a wife leaving the house and telling her husband to remember that he is supposed to clean the house while she is gone. Then a montage of him goofing off. Finally he gets up, goes to the garage and gets a leaf blower, and proceeds to clean the house with it, just blowing everything loose into a pile, out the door, and into the trash. Maybe the wife comes home and thanks him for doing such a great job.

It sounds like an ad for Home Depot.
