Commercial Break

A bar

Three gentlemen are seated at a bar drinking beer. The beer in their glasses is a very pale yellow, obviously a typical mass-produced beer.

The first man takes a drink, and then sets the glass down with a disappointed look on his face.

“This beer is as bland as the last one.”

“Yeah,” says the second man, “they all taste the same.”

“It doesn’t taste like anything,” says the third man.

The bartender steps over. He is wearing a tartan kilt.

“Something wrong with the beer gents?” he asks them.

“This beer is so bland,” says the first man.

“It has no flavor,” says the second man.

“It tastes like water,” says the third.

“I’ve got something you might like better,” says the bartender. He reaches under the bar and pulls out three bottles. On the label is the name ‘X Brew’.

The first man reads the label. “X Brew?” he asks.

“What’s that?” asks the second man.

“We never heard of it,” says the third.

“It’s a little known Scottish Ale brewed at a secret location in the mountains of South Carolina. Try it; it’ll set your taste buds free.”

The three men shrug and pour the beer into their glasses. They lift the glasses and take a drink.

There is a flash of light and when it clears the three men are all wearing kilts. They set their glasses down with big smiles on their faces.

“That’s amazing!” says the first.

“So full of flavor!” says the second.

“Absolutely incredible!” says the third.

“I’m glad you like it,” says the bartender. “Say, where are you guys off to this afternoon, back to the office?”

“No way, I’m going out to play the bagpipes!” exclaims the first.

“And I’m going to toss the caber around!” announces the second.

“And I’m going to hunt some haggis!” says the third.

As the three men leave, the bartender picks up a bottle of X Brew and speaks to the audience. “X Brew, it sets your taste buds and your life free.”
