Sometimes....

I need to get some advert help for a friend with an interesting business for our little town of Timmins, Ontario. As usual we got side-tracked with a few minutes checking the net for any word play or any off the wall kind of inspiration.

Didn't happen sadly.

What did happen was coming across this funny little newspaper advertisement and had to share it with you guys.

P.S. Before we go into the article remember to sign up for regular updates to our inbox at the bottom of the page :)

K, now that I am finished with the "shameful plug" I need to get some coffee so you guys and gals enjoy the story.

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."
