I have this image in my head of upcoming television ads, the kind of thing you see on late-night TV, announcing that if you call RIGHT NOW you can get a special two-for-one offer to have your own stem cells whirled around and massaged to fit not just one, but TWO, special places in your body. Extend your life, look and feel better now, just by calling this number, but remember it is a limited time offer (only we will be advertising it for several months) and this is just what you need!
