------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
The following are ads from a real-life newspaper (so I've been told)
which appeared four days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to
correct the first day's mistake.
MONDAY:
For sale: R.D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Phone 948-0707
after 7 P.M.. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap.
TUESDAY:
Notice: We regret having erred in R.D. Jones' ad yesterday. It should
have read "One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 948-0707 and ask for
Mrs. Kelly, who lives with him after 7 P.M."
WEDNESDAY:
Notice: R.D. Jones has informed us that he has received several annoying
telephone calls because of the error we made in the classified ad
yesterday. The ad stands correct as follows: "For sale -- R.D. Jones has
one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask
for Mrs. Kelly who loves with him."
THURSDAY:
Notice: I, R.D. Jones, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed it.
Don't call 948-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not
been carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper
but she quit!
