Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Just Can't Get It Right The following is an ad from a real-life newspaper which appeared four days in a row - the last three hopelessly trying to correct the first day's mistake. MONDAY: For sale: R.D. has one sewing machine for sale. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for Mrs. who lives with him cheap. TUESDAY Notice: We regret having erred In R.D. ' ad yesterday. It should have read " One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 948-0707 and ask for Mrs. , who lives with him after 7 P.M. " WEDNESDAY Notice: R.D. 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 corrected as follows: " For sale R.D. has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 948-0707 after 7 P.M. and ask for Mrs. who loves with him. " THURSDAY Notice: I, R.D. , 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. . Until yesterday she was my housekeeper but she quit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 That is so funny. I live in a small community and have actually read things like this in our newspaper. I laugh every time. Love and Hugs Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
