C L A S S I F I E D S - A must read!


These four classified ads appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper on four consecutive days recently.
The last three, hopelessly trying to correct the first day's mistake .

MONDAY:For sale - SK Shah has a sewing machine for sale. Phone 2555-0707 after 7PM and ask for Mrs Mani who lives with him cheap.

TUESDAY:Notice:
We regret having erred in SK Shah's ad yesterday.
It should have read,
"One sewing machine for sale cheap. Phone 2555-0707 and ask for Mrs Mani, who lives with him after 7PM."


WEDNESDAY:Notice: SK Shah 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 corrected as follows:
"For sale - SK Shah has a sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 2555-0707 after 7PM and ask for Mrs Mani who loves with him."

THURSDAY:Notice: I, SK Shah, have no sewing machine for sale. I smashed it. Don't call 2555-0707 as I have had the phone disconnected. I have not been carrying on with Mrs Mani. Until yesterday, she was my housekeeper but, she quit.
