Didn’t they run this last year? I’ve seen it before somewhere.
Oh for fuck’s sake Jack, that ol’ thing you had sitting in the draw? Got fuckin hold on it. More boring than watching Ricky Ponting bat.

Well done Jack.
I don’t know who this Jack guy is, but he’s got a lot of explaining to do.
they did, I’m sure they did. Re-usable tactical ads, what’s the world coming to!
Nuisance factor, what do you smoke? Why you holding?
