Heard on the tube

[Wilson Gray]

In an ad, approximately:

?"strong enough to? _eat lightning and crap thunder_"

Very reminiscent of the old - ca. 1955-65 - BE catchphrase:

"bad enough to _handcuff lightning and put thunder in jail_"

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
