Several times this week I've been led down various garden paths while reading other blogs, or searching for information. They took me to some very funny moments in vintage television, and I thought you might enjoy them too.
Here's Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto to the Lone Ranger, on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1969.
And here's a fun commercial for Alka-Seltzer, also from 1969.
(That one reminds me of a spurious advertising slogan for Eno's Fruit Salt, an Alka-Seltzer-type product sold widely in the British Empire, including South Africa. It ran, "Is the bottom falling out of your world? Take Eno's Fruit Salts, and the world will fall out of your bottom!")
And finally, here's a profoundly not-politically-correct advertisement for Castrol Oil from South Africa in the 1980's. It brought back memories...

I remember those Alka Seltzer commercials.
The Castrol Oil was pretty good, too.
