 DD> The ads I heard on the radio involved someone offering sage advice on

 DD> smartest thing one can do and will make you wise beyond your normal

That was the ad I was thinking about.

 DD> Clever marketing, actually.

I agree -- sort of a take off on the line "I'm not a [doctor, pilot,
etc.], but I played one on TV"
