Bringing Home the Bacon

My favorite current t.v. commercial just might be the one in which the household dog begins yelling, "Bacon! Bacon! I smell bacon! I love bacon! I gotta have bacon! Bacon!" as he lunges at his owner holding a bag of bacon bits (the voice of the dog belongs to a comedian whose face I can mentally see, but whose name I forget). This commercial cracks me up---maybe because I act and shout in exactly the same way as the dog does, when I smell the little woman cooking bacon at the stove. But Jonka doesn't act like the commercial's lady; Jonka screams, "Stop smelling my bacon!" as he bonks me with a large stir paddle.
