'On second thought, let's try it the other way around... My head on a lion's body.'

Man feeding his computer money.

"I think that was one upgrade to many for Chris!"

US dollar rising and falling.

The Robotics Department. It says here that these guys completely replace all the cells in their bodies every seven years! Wow! What a slow upgrade cycle!

'My brother is going to stay with a family in France, and a French boy is coming to stay with us. Did you know your parents could exchange you?'

'If anybody else asks me if they can transfer to the England cricket team, they're fired!'

Idiot! I told you there'd be a catch to buying a tank on eBay

Man throwing out his outdated TV set.

MUM Look what I swapped your mobile for

We're a host family for Joey's exchange program.

'Bartering for pre-screening ads isn't a bad idea, but what are we going to do with all these pigs?'

"You're in the wrong queue, sir. . . the 'Air-of-entitlement, upgrade-demands' counter, is over there."
