Improvisation dysfunction

So there are these commercials for an ED drug that talk about being at that age when you’re old enough to know how to take care of things.  Except, apparently, getting it up and satisfying your partner which is why you need their pill.  But I digress.

The first one I saw had this guy driving through the desert in an old muscle car and it starts to overheat.  So he pulls into a service station – remember those? – walks past the guy standing in front of the garage and waves.  Then he walks inside, buys a bottle of cold water from the fridge in the store, drinks some and pours the rest into his car.

I guess he knew enough to manage to get the radiator cap off without getting scalded, but somehow he was too stupid to ask the mechanic for a hose so he could top off his radiator with warm water – which would almost certainly be free.  Instead he buys cold water to put in his overheated car.

I’m not sure what this guy has learned in his life but how to take of a car wasn’t part of it.

Another one shows a guy on a sailboat and the clamp for a pulley on the boom breaks.  So on a boat full of ropes and lines and various things for tying things down, this guy takes the strap from his life jacket to reattach the pulley.  Now there’s real genius for you.

I’m not sure what point these commercials are trying to make, but I think they better start selling a pill to improve common sense because these guys are morons.  Maybe all the blood rushed from their brains.
