This from a South African commercial for Gaviscon, an antacid. It illustrates what can go wrong when someone who is ESL (English as a second language) writes the punch line for the advertisement.
Thanks Gene

Wow…this would have been funny here a few years ago. There were problems with the Fire Dept. and Law enforcement caught having strippers at the firehouse. There was also a case of some of them caught with hookers…
Our tax dollars at hard work…
Fourth picture: oh, so that’s what it looks like when I do that!
Ha Ha Ha, that is hilarious! 🙂
I was hoping to find the actual commercial on youtube. Unfortunately I did.
my kind of woman YEAH
I think that the punch line is exactly what they meant…
I agree with Richard…
what a feeling alright.
This is one of those photoshopped film strip parodies that people do. The real commercial didn’t have the punch line at all.

Don’t start the fire unless you have enough hose to put it out.
It’s actually from a British advert and the ad you have here comes from the British parody and comedy site B3TA where they regularly parody ads etc.
Quite how anyone thought it was South African I have no ides.
I nearly peed myself laughing!
Would have been better if the fireman was smoking a cigarette!
