The following make my purchase decisions A LOT easier.  I save the full

This offer will not be repeated.
Call before midnight tonight.  (Conjures up images of the poor slob getting
through at 12:01 only to have a voice say, "Sir, I am sorry but you are too

Mention this ad and get (a baby's arm holding an apple, a free shoe horn,
etc.)
Take if from me, Howie Carr....
This is Ed McMahon.....
Hi....
You've been in an accident....
You're unemployed...
You're pregnant with you tenth illegitmate child...
You see my lips but can't make out all the words.  (You must be in
Revere...sorry.)
You'll never wax or buff ever again....
You're just a phone call away....
Tired of that bumpy mattress?
