No one does more corny puns than me.<\/p>\n

One group of people does, however: the advertising firms for American products.<\/p>\n

Sonic<\/em>, a hamburger chain throughout the U.S. and a half-hour worthwhile drive for me, recently did a take-off on America’s You Can Do Magic.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 60-year-old, pardon the pun, was truly a Peek performer.<\/p>\n
