The following is an ad that appeared four days in a row in a Real-life newspaper -- 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 PM 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 PM."

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 PM 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.
