It's a HP commercial now playing where a boy, after his pet Iguana disappears, launches what would be a multi-million dollar ad campaign to find it. I can see putting a picture of your lost pet on facebook but this one went overboard.

They do that so that you remember the ad.

I wonder what the IRS would say if you tried to claim a deduction for a lost pet search.

Put out a multi-million dollar ad for "lost taxes"?

Oops, "lost pets" "costly ads" & "lost taxes" is serious? It was meant to be humorous :-)

I reread you post. I see the humor now even though I'm not a Brit or Israeli, whichever you are.

Don't be so sure about that.

Let's see lost Iguana and Canadian Cat, multi million dollar campain and taxes. Well if you add in mutually assured distruciton then that sounds like someone who has been listening in to our radio transmissions from space.

Wait! I just looked out the window and
it seems that parts of the universe are
just as funny as yesterday. Any advanced
culture from here or any where else would
have to have some sort of sense of funny!
