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. Pbone 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 annoyiny 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!
