Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you’ll think I’m like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I’ve got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don’t change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Listen to a 30 second snippet

If you know the tune, then you’ll probably hate me for the rest of the day because it’s nearly impossible to get out of your head (kind of like The Wiggles – quack, quack, quack, cockadoodle-do – but I digress.) Why the Tommy Tutone flashback? It seems two businesses have been fighting over the number made famous by Tutone 25 years ago. Interestingly, they’re both plumbing firms.

Clockwork Home Services of Florida has been using a toll free version nationwide while Gem Plumbing & Heating of Rhode Island uses the number in New England. A judge ruled recently in the case that Gem has use of the number in New England. Tutone prefers neither company use the number, but he’s taking no action as yet.

There is no word on which firm employs Jenny and when VH1 plans to do a “Where are they now?” segment on her…

It took me a little while to find it, but find ‘it’ I did. Let’s see if you can see ‘it’ too…Comments welcome with guesses. This is apparently a photo taken to help sell the table and chairs. Good luck!

OK, so this is a little pun-ny, but it’s also very clever. It’s amazing how frequently we see good advertising that is entertaining in unexpected places – like walking down a street. Too bad more mass media advertisers aren’t nearly this creative or funny…

Watch out, airplanes will attempt to lift your car? Airplanes crashing through powerlines can be a danger to you too? One thing is sure, when you drive past this sign you’ll look up, which just might be more dangerous than whatever the sign is warning about…

If you’re ever in San Jose and have a child under the age of 10 with you, check out the Children’s Discovery Museum. It’s a fun destination with lots of hands-on activities for kids of all ages. My daughter really liked the water display and the hands-on project area. It’s right downtown, plenty of parking, close to mass transit, right near the intersection of Highway 87 and I-280. Admission is $8.

If you’re in San Francisco, there’s a very similar museum called the Exploratorium near the marina. We highly recommend that as a destination too (we visit the Exploratorium at least once per month and maintain a membership there.)
