It’s not...

Fun At The Border

Has THIS ever happened to you? You pull up to the American border, minding your own business, when BAM…strip search! Maybe it didn’t happen quite like that.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Capitol One slogan “What’s in your wallet”.  I posted a couple of the company’s commercials starring David Spade which are hysterically funny, and mentioned that I wasn’t a huge fan of the rampaging Vikings they also use in their commercials.
