Annoying ad lines

A car company, to remain nameless, has been touting the line, "If you can dream it, you can do it."

Uh, no.  Unless you have really, really boring dreams...

(Hell, even my more rational dreams, involving no violations of the laws of nature and of nature's god, often include people dead for thirty years or so.)

The worrisome thing is that some of your characters actually *can* do things they dream of. You might even use that as a plot device some day.
