    The following are ads that appeared in a newspaper over a period of four days - 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 555-0707 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 555-0707 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 555-0707 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 555-0707 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!

    in the local newspaper there is some space reserverd each day where different people working at the newspaper "blog" about strange, silly or funny things that happend to them. so a few years ago someone complained that his remote controll was broken and he went to a "well known" tv dealer (he didnt mention his name, but everyone here knows this dealer) but he said "no we cant fix that, but there is a very good tv for only 1000!"; so this guy went to another tv store arround the corner and they fixed his remote controll for 20 or so.

    one week later the "well known" tv dealer had an big ad in this newspaper about tvs, radios and stuff, and in the last line: "we can also fix your remote cntroll!" :D
