Comedy Break

A rich woman calls her butler to her bedroom. "Jenkins," she says in a low voice. "Take off my dress." Jenkins takes off her dress.
"And my stockings." Jenkins takes them off too.
"And my underwear." Jenkins removes her underwear.
"Now, Jenkins," says the woman. "If I catch you wearing my clothes again, you're fired."

adidas_1's Intelligent Shoe

Now, this is something you don't see everyday. A shoe that has a microprocessor that's capable of churning 5 million instructions per second. And for what? So that it can readjust the shoe's "muscle" to fit your feet perfectly so as to adapt to the environment around it.

Now, why would you need a shoe like this? At €285, this shoe will let you leap from tall buildings with a single bound, and run faster than a speeding bullet. Oh, wait a minute, superpowers are not included.

Need it? I'm still struggling to get up from my couch...
Want it? Nah... I'll use the €285 for something else...

Need it? Nah... I think I'll keep my pants on.
Want it? When I don't have anymore pants to wear...
