There was this man called Jim who owned a small company which manufactured nails. One day he was out for a drink in a pub when he saw Bob - a guy he used to go to school with. They get talking and Bob asks Jim what he is doing these days. "I own my own nail manufacturing company called Jim's Nails" he says, "It's only a small company but it keeps me and my wife happy. What are you doing?"
"Oh, I am quite high up in an advertising company. We make adverts for TV"
Bob says, "I tell you what, since we were friends at school I'll make you an advert for free" Jim protests and says he couldn't possibly ask him to do that but eventually agrees to it.
A few days later Bob phones him up to say that his advert will be on in between Coronation Street. Jim gets a few beers in and sits down and waits for his advert. The advert is simply a picture of Jesus nailed to a cross with the caption 'USE JIM'S NAILS' written in large letters underneath.
Being a good catholic, Jim is outraged. He phones Bob up and asks him what the hell he thinks he is doing. Bob apologises profusely and after much persuasion Jim agrees to let Bob do another advert for him to make it up to him. Another few days later Jim receives a phone call telling him that the new advert will be on in between The Bill. Again, Jim sits down with a few beers and a couple of friends and waits.
The new adverts comes on... Jesus is running through the desert with sweat pouring off his brow - he is obviously running for his life. The camera pans out to reveal two Roman Guards about 100 yards behind Jesus chasing after him. The camera zooms in on the guards just as one says to the other, "I told you we should have used Jim's Nails"
