[Ads-l] summer cold

[Jonathan Lighter]

Transparent, to be sure, but possibly worth a mention since it suggests
that it's worse than a common cold.

Some will recall the Contac commercials (ca1970?) that declared "A summer
cold is a different animal!"

In the 1932 movie "The Purchase Price," Barbara Stanwyck tells George
Brent, "You've caught one of those terrible summer colds."
