These four classified ads appeared in a newspaper on four consecutive
days.
The last three hopelessly trying to correct the first day's mistake...


MONDAY: For sale - John has a sewing machine for sale. Phone 98407
16581 after 7PM and ask for Mrs waite who lives with him cheap.



TUESDAY: Notice: We regret having erred in John ad yesterday. It
should have read, "One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 98407 16581
and
ask for Mrs waite, who lives with him after 7PM."



WEDNESDAY: Notice: John 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 - John has a
sewing machine for sale; Cheap. Phone 98407 16581 after 7PM and ask for
Mrs. waite who loves with him.



THURSDAY: Notice: I, John, have no sewing machine for sale. I
smashed
it. Don't call 98407 16581 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have
not
been carrying on with Mrs. waite. Until yesterday, she was my housekeeper
but she quit!
