There was a TV commercial years ago promoting Idaho tourism. It was right out of the old American Express "Do you know me" ads.

It went something like:

A well dressed older gentleman walks through a high scale restaurant and says,
"Do you know me? Most people don't. That's why I carry this".

He reaches into the inside pocket of his suit coat and takes out....

[Now, as viewers we would expect an AmEx card]

"That's why I carry this"

Man removes a potato.

The caption then identified the man as the governor of Idaho.


I thought the ad was brilliant.
