There is a rumor abroard that physicists are humorless,
that the iron has entered the soul,
that the receptiveness to the valley of Earthly delights
is blunted by excess rehearsal of formula and adherance to
the fleeting Truth and abhorence of the perceived Error.
In this matter, Jim is not dispelling such caricatures.

We see, in this best-funded and carefully crafted TV genre,
(the ad.) a skit upon the police story: the cornered 'perp'
gesturing to blow himself and perhaps others, away.
The potency of the chalupa - the identification of this exotic
food order - all reinforced.

The hero of the ad campaign, the dog who is known to stop at
nothing to fund his Taco Bell habit, is making expressive
eyebrows while he urges, with the cops, the disarming of the
subject to his own advantage.

You possibly had to be there?
