B&D Synonymous with Garage Doors!

I was watching some early morning television today when an ad came on saying “B&D Synonymous with Garage Doors” (those electronic/remote operated metal roller doors for your garage/car park)

Rather an unfortunately named company ”B&D”, one wonders if they thought about it at all – or is it just my mind in the gutter.

As leechboy said “B&D – their contracts are binding.”

What have you seen on early morning TV (or late night) that has made you go "huh"?

I grew up with those ads, leechie. Of course, that meant that when I found out about the other B&D, I thought it was even kinkier than it actually is. Garage doors involved? Woah!

You're weird, [b]leechbabe[/i].

I've been having a wee bit of trouble with a similar issue. "SDMB" and "BDSM" can look really similar when you're reading posts first thing in the morning.

It does give you some interesting mental pictures.
