Help! I've fallen and...
BY BRETT FERINO

Over the years, we've all (couch potatoes) have seen funny ads. This column is not the same one as a previous one.

I can remember an old lady say "I've fallen and I can't get up!". I really think that quote is funny, like I did when I was about 3-7 years old.

A few weeks ago, I asked my bus driver if she remembered it. She said she did. And I do too. I was laughing about it though and she said it is not funny.

My mom also thinks it's not funny since one time about ten years ago, my great grandmother fell while housecleaning and almost, well, you know -- anyway, she fell and was there for like 3 hours until something happened. She's alive and well at 92.

My grandmother, who has fell numerous times over the years has done that, but she is really healthy at 78.

Anyway, before I exit this short column, I just want to tell you that "I've Fallen! I'm Bleading". Just say the words, dammit!

"I've Fallen I'm Bleeding". The cops said "What can't you do"? The old lady says "I can't get to the phone!" And I was not saying this. This is a spoof I heard on The Daly Show!

When I was little, I thought it was a funny ad, but now I fail to see the humor in it. There is nothing funny about old people falling over and not being able to get up.

I did too. But not anymore, Especially, when it happens to a parent, Grandparent or anybody close, it's not funny, I find it scary.

You've failed to realize what is funny about it. It's not the fact that the old lady has fallen, it's how horrendous the ACTING is!

at least, that's what I thought was funny!

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just had to point this out, cause I have a thing about stuff like that...yeah. It's all that peer editing in english.
