The closest we've so far come to finding the hidden gold in our hair was that time we met a real-life pirate.  From Photoplay, 1932.

Our wizardly friend Gordon once had eleven fingers in a nightmare.  When he woke up and starting counting to reassure himself, his studies in arcane arithmetic came back to haunt him, as the math kept coming to "eleven."  When we encountered the strange hand in this ad from the University of the South's 1971 yearbook, we wondered how Gordon would fill in the circle over the thumb.

We're not a day over sometimes 40/sometimes 25.  From Photoplay, 1932.

We presume this is a play on the famous New Yorker cartoon of 1928, in which a child won't eat her broccoli: "I say it's spinach and I say the hell with it."  In this case, the subject is toothpaste, not broccoli (the ad is for Pepsodent).  While we like the hallucinatory scenario (is one brushing one's teeth with spinach?  Has one been served toothpaste for dinner?), the famous zinger to the gag is, "the hell with it," so this comes across as some sort of anti-advertising, since the lingering message is, "The hell with Pepsodent."  From Photoplay, 1932.
