| 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 Notice:
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 that we made in the classified ad. yesterday.
The ad. stands corrected 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!
