[nilesfunnies] Wilson's nails

Wilson runs a nail factory and decides his business needs a bit of
advertising. He has a chat with a friend who works in marketing and he
offers to make a TV ad for Wilson's Nails.

"Give me a week," says the friend, "and I'll be back with a tape."

A week goes by and the marketing executive comes to see Wilson. He puts
a cassette in the video and presses play. A Roman soldier is busy
nailing Jesus to the cross. He turns to face the camera and says with a
grin "Use Wilson's Nails, they'll hold anything."

Wilson goes mad shouting: "What is the matter with you? They'll never
show that on TV. Give it another try, but no more Romans crucifying
Jesus!"

A week passes and Wilson waits impatiently. The marketing executive
arrives and puts on the new video. A naked man with long hair, gasping
for breath, is running across a field. About a dozen Roman soldiers come
over the hill, hot on his trail. One of them turns to camera and says
'If only we had used Wilson's Nails!'.
