Instantly Soon

We should always be careful with what we read on the Internet or see on late night TV. I'm not saying that everything you read and see is wrong. Just be wary.

A commercial I happened to catch the other morning offered free or low cost medical insurance 'to those who qualify'. Well, of course it would be available to those who qualify, wouldn't it?

Yet there's more than that. In the next instance the voiceover urged the viewer to hurry and make a phone call 'Where in a few minutes you can see if you instantly qualify'.

I don't know about you, but while a few minutes might be very fast it doesn't strike me as instantly. That's why I'd be careful about making that call.
