When the advert breaks came on tv I used to belive that when they said "We'll be right back after these messages" that the tv people were reading mail.
A childhood belief about adverts

others believed things like this
- i used to think that the word e-mail was a sex, like male, female and e-mail.
I'm so thick!— Confoozed - that actors went to the toilet during the ad breaks.— ash
- I used to think that if a mirror with me in it breaks, I break.Anon
- I used to wonder when reading the obituary column how people always managed to die in alphabetical order.— diane
- When there was an advert for a "3 peice suite" i thought it was a shop selling 3 P Sweet's!!!— Kate Parker
- I thought when i was a kid, that all mailboxes had tubes that brought your mail to the person u sent it to.— Andrew
