Thanks Islandgal,

I watched the commercial to test my reaction to the guy. I registered as immune I guess. He did not rub me one way or the other.

But I have to say that I may look at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for some of these things. Every floor in my house is a hard surface. Either wood or tile. And it's me and Murphy's Soap and an old t-shirt that's been put out to pasture. So I might give these things a shot.

The things I learn on TOTV while I am drinking coffee early in the morning. I now have a Slingbox and I will soon have a Shamwow.

You know, I have to admit that when I saw the name of this thing, I immediately started to wonder how they came up with the word. I know they had to be thinking 'chamois' and playing off that. But then going with 'sham' could get into all that denotation-connotation of words stuff what with the 'sham' implications and all. Trying to sell an admitted sham???? But then 'sham' could also just mean a fake 'chamois' and then...it really is a good name, etymology and all and.....ohhhhhhh, nooooooooo, now Mr. Tony will think I am an English major.
