Tax Haven

Geoffrey Robinson, who was found recently to have bought into off shore tax havens, has invested heavily in Coventry City FC.

"It all happened when we were driving along happily, when we got rather lost and ended up on the Coventry ring road. After circling around thirty-seven times, we managed to get off it. We had travelled so far, that I thought we were off shore somewhere."

Alcohol law got in the way.

Michigan has changed it's laws banning police officers or their spouses from holding a liquor licence.

The police chief had been waiting five years to marry his fianc e, who owns a licensed delicatessen.

"The law may be silly, but we just couldn't be bothered to change it before. Now it's affecting someone in power, we just had too."

The Ghostbusters turn up and at reception and speak in silly fake accents.

"The ambassador's recptions are known thoughout society for it's host's exquisite tastes."

So well known that a group of poltergiests decided to turn up. Guests were amazed when they saw thier glasses raise two inches above the table surface.

The Ghostbusters were called and they joined in the party.
Cries of "Excelente!", "An chantiler!" and "Mershure, with theeese Roshay you is wheely spoling us!".

But seriously....

French TV laws prohibit people drinking alchohol in adverts unless alchohol itself is being advertised.

Rather than re-shoot the whole advert, VT editors touched up the existing advert to make it look as if all the guests were drinking orange juice. The result was that the glasses were still recognisable as champagne glasses. The film was then touched up even more, and how the glasses float two inches up.

As if it wasn't surreal enough already.
