The Won will be so darned jealous he doesn’t have a hand washer.
I think I’ll be on the look out for a new “hand washer” czar.

With the economic downturn, I no longer can afford to employ a handwasher at my castle estate in the countryside.
I’m sure many other Americans have suffered the same plight.

The ad placement is hilarious.
"Hey, been hand-washing? Please consider an automatic washer ..." I guess.
