Common talk back in the 60's; TV ad promo's.

You know, things did happen before you were born and before there was an
internet. :~)


I did not ask for a hyperlink, nor did I imply that an Internet source
was required. You may cite a newspaper or magazine if you wish.
However "common talk" is unacceptable and you know it. Had you asked
for corroboration and received "common talk" as an answer, I would
expect you to reply "bull****".
