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 intentionally broke 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 has now quit.
