I love this commercial about the joy and triumph of learning to read:
*
Okay, okay, so it’s a commercial from a brewery. It should have been a Super Bowl commercial.

I’d learn to read, too, if someone offered me a beer. Indeed, if they had offered me a beer back when I’d be a better reader now. But no regrets. We live with our circumstances and N. GA back then was not as enlightened as contemporary S. Africa.
Very true, Frank!
