    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;These types of "play on words" commercials are very popular with the advertising agencies right now, &lt;a href="https://community.aarp.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1301911"&gt;@50shep52&lt;/a&gt;. There is a commercial where a family comes into a room and says "DAMP". Of course, it sounds like something else. It is for a product called Damp-Rid. All I can tell you is that a real funny commercial makes me "SHIP MY PANTS".........ooops, that play on words comes from an old K-Mart commercial where they were advertising they could ship your purchase of pants anywhere in the country. I would advise not to get offended and accept the humor for what it is. Some of it is in poor taste but none of the "play on words" commercials are as offensive to me as the ALL BODY DEODORANT SPRAYS that talk about spraying under boobs, crotches, and rear ends..... and while I am eating dinner, no les&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;s.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Anyway, the way I see it as I age = I can choose NOT to "listen - see - read" anything that OFFENDS me. Take care my friend &amp;amp; HAPPY 4th when it gets here!!!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good Morning.&amp;nbsp; This was an email sent on June 30th&amp;nbsp; from AARP called "What's for Dinner Cooking Series".&lt;/P&gt;</description>
