Millard Fillmore Soap on a Rope
Blogging is a bit light this week, I'm afraid; still trying to get caught up on my grading, etc., after last week's travel.
I just placed one of my more outlandish bids on ebay: I'm trying to pick up a Millard Fillmore Soap on a Rope. Did anyone see this President's Day commercial from Kia? I decided I pretty much had to have one of those things. And believe it or not, there were several Millard Fillmores for sale.
And by the way, Fillmore was not the first president to have a running water bathtub in the White House (I have no idea which prez has that honor).

Did see the commercial and I thought the same thing. Good luck on your bid
Brian,
Not sure if you saw it in your parts but there was a TV ad tat ran several times down here in TX for a mattress firm (Serta) in which Lincoln came in to the store to buy a new mattress...it was pretty comical.
All My Best,
Jim
I am unbelievably jealous that you found one on ebay in the first place. I've had no luck so far. Did you win it?
Word has it that the marketing folks who came up with this ad actually got asked to leave their company because nobody understood it. Me, I thought it was genius.
