THE SPOTS
Three :30s open with the statement, "If you do your best thinking in the shower, imagine how smart you’ll get under our brilliant new shower head." In "Lance," a man jumps out of his Holiday Inn Express shower and wins a legal case, invents a dog talker and balances the national budget for the president, all in a single day and while only wearing a towel. In "Chet," a towel-clad man wins a chess championship, invents an invisible airplane and communicates with dolphins. And in "Roger," a fellow wins medals, travels into space to repair a satellite, and is victorious in a science contest for building a time machine. A girl asks Roger, "Did you go to M.I.T.?" He replies, "No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
