Are You Shipping Me?

My new favorite ad is for CarMax:

Two men are in a room that appears to be an ancient store with ship models on the shelves. The men are dressed in the era of Columbus but when they begin to talk, they have modern day accents.

"...If I'd like to purchase on the far end of the world would you hold it for me until I can go pick it up?"

"No sir. We will ship it to you."

"You'll ship my ship?"

"We'll ship your ship to any ShipMax in the entire flat world."

"Are you shipping me?"
