    MAN:  Ladies and gentlemen. This commercial is going to use sublim... sub...
    ONTO THE SCREEN FLASHES THE WORD SUBLIMINAL, BUT ONLY FOR HALF A SECOND--JUST LONG ENOUGH TO REGISTER.

    MAN:  (CONTINUING)  Subliminal advertising!  That means you will not be able to see it on the screen.  Oh, it'll be there all right, but the naked eye cannot detect it.  In the meantime, just sit back and relax... while I tell you this rather amusing, heh heh, story.  It seems that these two men decided to take a trip.  FROM THE BACK OF A SCREEN BEHIND HIM, A SKYROCKET BURSTS, OBLITERATING THE MAN'S DIALOGUE.  THE ROCKET BURST BECOMES THE WORDS INSTANT BUTTER-NUT COFFEE, WHICH FILL THE SCREEN.  THE BAND IS PLAYING LOUDLY AND THE MAN HAS SHRUNK TO A SMALL SILHOUETTE IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN.  WE SEE HIM TALKING, BUT WE CAN'T HEAR HIM.  THE GIANT MESSAGES ON-SCREEN ARE HUGE,  IMPOSING, ANYTHING BUT SUBLIMINAL.  A STRING OF DANCING GIRLS DRAGS IN THE WORDS IT TOOK FIVE YEARS TO MAKE, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.  SUDDENLY THE MAN POPS ON FULL SCREEN, AND WE HEAR HIM AS THE MUSIC CUTS OFF.

    MAN:  So the second man goes back to the dry cleaners, and...
    A BURST OF FIREWORKS BLOTS OUT THE MAN IN MID-SENTENCE.  THE WORDS TRY SOME APPEAR FULL SCREEN, FOLLOWED BY AN ELEPHANT STOMPING THROUGH WITH THE WORD TODAY!! FINALLY, THE WORDS INSTANT BUTTER-NUT COFFEE PULSATE A FEW TIMES, FILLING THE SCREEN, AND WE SEE THE MAN AGAIN, BY NOW AT THE END OF HIS STORY.

    MAN:  So the third guy says... "Okay.  But you'd better bring back the hangers."  Ahh heh-heh.
    THERE IS A SLIGHT PAUSE AS THE MAN REALIZES HIS STORY HAS NOT GONE OVER WELL.  HE EXITS SHEEPISHLY.  FADE TO BLACK
