The following is a real ad from a 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. 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: 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: 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 : 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!
