The guy in the van is a real a--hole.

I'm sitting here asking the chick in the sports car if I can take her somewhere for a drink, and he yells 'Cut it out, clown!' and gives me the finger.

Her name is April Jones, so the "YES" van is keeping up with the Jones.

Would hate to see the ad on the side of the van for a mobile gynecologist, or proctologist!

Probably a lot of complaints to the condominium board about the driver taking two parking spaces!

When I applied for the job they showed me a picture of the vehicle I would be driving and they said have it for personal use at weekends. Only they clipped the shot so it looked like it had a white background.

You can go to the shop to get a photo put on your van, or you can just do photoshopping.

The van is really a cardboard cut out attached to the driver's side of the car.

Not what you see,it's how you look at it.
