Simply lovely.

David Holmes, you are extraordinary. First time I saw the commercial, I must admit, I rolled my eyes and said, “He’ll never make it.” And when you did, I was amazed.

Totally rad.

For all those who thought it was visual effects and camera trickery, my deeply bruised, lower, higher and mid section, would have proven you wrong, the day after :o)

A quick note to the makers of this Website:

I would not object to you using my name and would love to hear from you, via my e-mail.

Your bruised buddy,

Dave
