50 degrees shirt's off guy

Photobucket

The calendar says that it's well into spring. But here in the Pacific Northwest, the weather is not so sure about that. We may have a spring-like day here or there, but then it's back to the heavy coats. Yesterday we were supposed to have a high of 63 degrees. Now back when I lived in Southern California, a high of 63 would mean that the weatherman was telling you to bring a coat because it was going to be a chilly day. But here in Washington, that's shorts and flip-flops weather. If it hits 70, it's a heatwave! Yes, things are a little different around here.

There's an insurance company up here that has some pretty great radio commercials that hit the nail on the head. You might remember First Snowflake Freakout Lady that I posted about a while back. Well now I'd like to introduce you to 50 Degrees Shirt's Off Guy. First go to this website. At the bottom of the page in the middle, click on "view the ads". Once you get there, go to the column on the right and at the bottom click on 50 Degrees Shirt's Off Guy. Have yourself a listen. I'll wait.

Yes, around here you're bound to see a lot of blinding white flashes of naked torsos. And legs. And arms. So if you ever visit the Pacific Northwest this time of year, be sure to bring your sunglasses. No, you won't need them for the sun. But you might want to shield your eyes from the glare off our skin.

Want some glare-free laughs? Check out my Life is Funny blog carnival. There are some new entries there. And what they hey, feel free to add your own!

I got the blinding whiteness going on, too. I however, won't be taking my shirt off in public. NO! No matter how much you beg, it is not going to happen. Although, it probably would make a great Life is Funny post, wouldn't it?

If you're ever itching for some sun and warmth head my way. We can make it a spa weekend or something! :)
