Shop
Till you Drop
in the New Jeru
salem. Jesus saves, and so can you.
Champagne, Shampoos,
Shammy-leather Shoes

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
Knock-kneed Chicken
that's finger-lickin'

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
A pack of Snickers

Out in the cold world, God!
Boo-hoo
Labour and Tory, peas in a pod:

ONE FOR THE PRICE OF TWO
You're gonna get some
