Priceless – for everything else there is MasterCard

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Funny Stuff | Posted on 18-03-2001

A while back sometime last year we posted a run of off takes on the Master Card commercial “Priceless”. Well belive it or not they are still coming out of the wood works every now and then. Surely by now everyone has seen the commercials and is familiar with what I am talking about. It has nothing to do with ZorKa.com however today is humor day. I found this one to be personally funny being an avid fisherman.
