Here is an ad that appeared for real in a newspaper in UAE which I
thought
you might enjoy reading:
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. 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!
