Funny, I caught that same commercial (Anybody anybody? Or just certain any-

collected--represent a different phenomenon. While the first element of the

double serves as a modifier, triples are used to indicate that no other members

of an implied category are worth worrying about:

Location, location, location. (The most important factors in determining

success of an enterprise.)

Service, service, service. (The factors in success of a politician.)
