After hearing a radio business report about how people are working longer hours and not taking their vacation time (or if they do, they work through their vacations), this McDonald's commercial came on:
(from memory)
Her: Do you remember breakfast?
Him: No, what's that?
Her: Once upon a time it was what people used to eat in the morning.
Him: (startled) Before work?
Her: Yes. They'd journey to the land of Golden Arches for fresh eggs and bacon. (excited) I think I remember bacon!
Him: (resolute) Let's find these Golden Arches! Let's have this breakfast!
Her: And on the way I'll tell you about vacations.
Him: My great uncle had one of those.
