3. Warning - Boomer Reference:

Do you think HUMMER will run an advertisement with a Diamond Cutter in the back of a HUMMER, splitting this big daddy.

I will always remember the SNL version of that commercial - the bris in the back of the car. ROTFL!


(for the non-Jewish who dno't know, a bris is the ceremony of circumcision)
