Just a quick comment about one of my pet peeves……

My spouse is a huge NY Yankees fan, which can be veeeeeery annoying, lol. Especially since our local cable tv provider carries the YES Network (Yankee Entertainment System), which means that EVERY SINGLE YANKEE GAME FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON IS ON TV, and she has to watch all of them.

Now I have nothing against sports in general, or baseball specifically - but it is very annoying when for basically half of the year she has to watch a baseball game every day! Especially since I am a Dodger fan, and she is watching the damned Yankees!

To give you an idea of how annoying this is, our wedding anniversary is October 12, and every year when I want to go out to celebrate it over a nice dinner, if the Yankees are playing in the postseason she wants to stay home and watch the game.

Anyway, I have been sitting here tonight catching up on some reading for work while she watches the game. My usual place if I am home while the game is on, so at least we are together even if I am not watching. But I do glance up periodically just to see what is happening.

Soooooo, to get to the point, the last time I looked up a commercial for AFLAC insurance was on. And here is my pet peeve: AFLAC uses a goose for their commercials. If you live in the US, you are probably familiar with it - the goose that runs round squawking, “AFLAC!” all the time. So why do they keep referring to the damned goose as a duck?!?

Are people really that stupid? If some ad rep thinks it is cute to have everyone call the goose a duck, it isn’t.
