"NEWS FLASH: As the economy continues to spiral downward, budget cuts are affecting everyone. As seen here, James Bond is trying desperately to outrun the guys from Q branch who are attempting to repossess his moon vehicle and force him to use public transportation. Rumor has it that further plans are underway to auction Bond's Omega Seamaster to help pay for $1750 worth of condoms and champagne billed to the British Secret Service during his last campaign. Bond's Seamaster is expected to be replaced with a vintage Seiko, circa Octopu$$y. This may explain the look of determination he displays here as he trys frantically to avoid buggy and watch repo and the associated embarrassment of being a cool spy riding a trolley while wearing a cheap, out of style watch."

Mad Max 3: Beyond Omega-Zone
Starring: Pierce Brosnan and Anna Kournikova

It is the 23rd century. Switzerland has abandoned its customary neutrality, invaded North America and taken almost everything. All that is left are Omega watches and Rice-A-Roni.

In Scene I, our hero Pierce Brosnan, driving the vehicle in right lane, is desperately trying to trade a Seamaster Pro, two Speedmasters, a CoAxial and a diamond-studded Constellation for a gallon of gasoline from Anna Kournikova...

the moon buggy. After he is done he can ring the

"Hey! (says the bald guy on trolly left to moon vehicle driver), my Omega quartz battery just died, what time does your automatic have?"

"So...just which time zone do you use on the moon?"

"In your rear view mirror it says, "agemO" which means - "Rolex sucks" in Swedish."

"What's with the mesh umbrella?"

"The guys sponsoring Dubey & Schaldenbrand must have one wide-ass f%&#ing vehicle!"
