Viagra Commercial
I have seen this a few times and laugh at it, my wife finally asked me what the problem is, I haven't paid that much attention to it but, well this camper or? has a problem starting his fire, he shows off a shinny new looking Buck Knife, you know, with the BRASS ends. He takes this brass end of his knife, hits it against a stone and provides the spark to start his fire.
Am I missing something. Maybe thats why I didn't make Eagle Scout. |

Would never work.... Brass is ferrous, ie, it wouldn't spark!

I've noticed the same thing. Shows the sort of people who put commercials together.

I think you left out the "non" before "ferrous".

Plus why didn't he just use the lighter in the car right behind him. I was giving him credit that maybe there was another metal on the other side of the knife. I do bend over backwards to help these fools with their ignorance.

I just thought that he was hitting the back of the blade.

Yep, cigarette lighter in the truck would have worked just as well.
I did hear on the news last night that viagra will be filling prescriptions through the mail because of all the bogus advertising for the stuff from China or somewhere. I think they should change the color to a wood texture. |

Maybe they should just put it in Ice Cream, and you could pick it up at Baskin Robbins on your way home from work.

I saw that also. My youngest son can 'bust' a fire with a stick and shoelace and a few other items and it isn't that easy but that scene was Hollywood all the way.

Metal doesn't have to be ferrous to create a spark. But brass is too soft to.
