You also like extending your dramatic pauses to absurd lengths, don't you?

I like deer hunting, bass fishing, and extending credit to all people.

Sometimes it's fun to be caught off guard with strangeness. At the end I thought he said it was also good for "expanding" people but on re-hearing, it turned out to be "Hispanic" people. Works either way.
I like that, & I like ad assault with catchy jingles. I wish I could find that old Amdro fire ant killer ad, it was one of the best. Imagine, if you will, a man with a Chaliapin-esque basso voice, singing a descending-note ditty with words something like, "Way, way down, in the bottom of the mound, lives the queen"...and the refrain was "Am-dro, deep down, kill the queen and kill the mound, Am-dro, deep down, kill the queen and kill the mound"... it was great.
