There’s a series of commercials for Dymo’s labeling device. It features a bunch of idiots standing around staring at things (anteaters, works of art, a beanstalk, etc) with their mouths open, because they apparently have no clue what they are seeing. Along comes DYMOGIRL!! She prints out a label, sticks it on the object, and voy-ola! Mystery solved!! The crowd thanks her with their ooohing and aaaaahing. She flashes a smug smile and walks away with the satisfaction that only she can have.

Is she labelled? Any specific body parts labelled?

I really, really hope you don’t need a label to recognize it.

I have not seen this commercial, but I’m not a bit surprised that the competent, wise (and product-using) person who saves the day is a woman.

If so, it could always be labled “NOT A Hole In The Ground”.

How about “A hole in the round”?
Can you tell I’m a bit burned out at work today?
