Here Comes The King

That is the name of the song that is played whenever the Budweiser Clydesale horses are out on the march, because Bud styles itself the King of Beers. Personally, I think the monarchy has been deposed but that's another matter.

You find these mammoths at many major events. I'm sure they will be in the St. Patrick;s Day parade next weekend. The team is a fixture at opening day of the baseball season, not far away, where they trot around the dirt track that surrounds the playing field. Be assured that the product they represent will be for sale everywhere you look.       

Euphemisn

There are an awful lot of brands of vodka in this country. Some promote themselves as premium products and charge enormous prices. I'm not a vodka drinker and I can't tell the difference among them.

The brands need some marketing hook to distinguish themselves. There is a brand I see a lot these days called Tito's Handmade Vodka. Handmade? Wouldn't a still work better? The brand shown here goes a step further. I don't know if other English-speaking countries use the expression but everyone here knows it. (Almost.) Change the EN to ING. Leave only a single F. Then think about a rather rude word that is a substitute for a much more rude word. Get it?

This was on a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

Okay, We Get It

Repetition does hammer the point home. Good idea to stay out of the way.
