My Lion Has Got No Nose

i hate it when that happens!
but it seems to happen to a lot of stone lions, you know?

I wonder how the damage occurred? The freezing and thawing cycle? Lightning? A malicious window-cleaner? A collision with a 50-pound pigeon? Someone opening the window between the lions and whacking icicles off of the lion's nose with a metal rod?

I think I need a life...

....terrible! (Sound effect: rim shot).
If I had told it in German, it would have been the killing joke.

when the nose fell, did the nose fall on an unsuspecting pedestrian?
catherine- did you write the ad? or are you a voice over personality?

Hi Joey, I write ads, but this particular one was not my creative. I was just re-recording parts of it and overseeing (overhearing?) the edit. Having an English accent in New York, I have been approached to voice over both TV and radio ads at my agency. But I am not an actor and I get horribly flustered and can't stand the pressure. I can present to a room full of clients on a $100 million account no problem. But talk into a mike in a soundproof box? Hell no. I freak out and hide under my desk, whimpering, "I used to be Prime Minister, you know."

maybe i could do that. i have done voice before, and in america my accent becomes unaccountably julie andrewsish, which is probably a good thing..is it?
