Context? CCXXIX

I must admit, the March 1987 commercial that began, "When was the last time you had lunch with a duck?," got my attention.  The speaker continued, "That's right--a duck.  I'll bet you think I'm crazy."

After hearing this in an AM radio air check, I thought, "Is she promoting the St. Louis Zoo or a park?"

Neither.  She was promoting a condo development that contained a lake with ducks.

Admittedly, that's an unusual--but effective--selling point.
