"The TV Commercial" opens with Florida ecstatic over being chosen by a commercial producer as an honest face to represent their product. James gets the wrong idea: "you ain't doin' no brassiere commercial!" The fateful telephone call selects Florida, at a pay scale up to $5000! JJ tries his hand at a pitch: "my husband James used to have slow blood, he would cut himself shaving on Monday and wouldn't bleed until Thursday!" James: "thanks to Vita Brite Health Tonic my blood is fast, fast, fast, now I bleed all the time!" As Florida reads the script she realizes that she's never used the product before: "they hired me for an honest face and I ain't gonna give it a crooked mouth!" The family tries to show her how actors tend to stretch the truth, and JJ mentions the Tidy Bowl man: "he's living dangerous, one flush and he's buried at sea!" For a product that's 18% alcohol, it's not long before Dean Martin gets a mention as the perfect pitchman!
