A brilliany demonstration of logical thinking to a really logical conclusion.

I am reminded of a conversation quoted on FaceBook:

Him: Pass me the newspaper please!

Her: Don't be so old-fashioned, use my iPad!

Funny, but I can't say laugh-out-loud?  I've probably heard and/or seen comparable adverts/stories doing the rounds over the last 30 or 40 years.  Sometimes its for modes of transport; other times, its for various forms of communication.

I can say laugh out loud because it did make me laugh out loud.

Which is why I referred to compoarable adverts - adverts for other technological developments like TVs, phones, computers, etc.  I have nothing against you finding it funny - but wondered where you've been in the past when these other adverts have been doing the rounds?
