when I was little (about 5-6) there was a commercial that would play all the time "Cal Worthington Ford" (those of you from California, no doubt know who I'm talking about. well he would feature zoo animals in his commercials with a little jingle that went "when you need a car or truck, go see cal go see cal go see cal" well for YEARS I thought he said "pussy-cow" which in my young mind meant a fantastical animal, that was the size of a cat but looked like a cow.
