“Did you see that billboard we just passed?”

“Not really. What did it say?” “It was really interesting. It was something about a local business... let’s see... I’m trying to remember...” “HEY, watch that guy pulling over in our lane!” “Yea, he’s been swerving around a lot.” “Probably trying to dial his cellphone.” “There you go, he’s straightening up now. I bet his wife gave him an ear full!” “What did you ask me before?” “I asked if you saw that billboard back there.” “No, what was it?” “I can’t remember now. Maybe we’ll come back this way next year.” Who sees your ads?
