"WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE BATHTUBS?"

So you're telling us that you and your wife don't get in your bathtubs, hold hands and watch the sunset "when the time is right" as they euphemistically say in the commercial?

It is a bizarre amalgam of the old married couples in twin beds, nudity implied by the bathtubs, and that 'special intimacy' portrayed by holding hands. I tried to come up with a quick limerick but failed. Got as far as prude and nude and lewd, the elements of the ad.

It must be effective, the two tubs are in every single ad I've seen. I really hate those ads.

My wife is hung up on the bathtubs, too. She doesn't think the "medicine" is doing much good if they're in two bathtubs.

I have often wondered the same thing but thought it was an insider joke and I was on the outside!
