Errors in Ads

These four classified ads appeared in a newspaper on
four consecutive days. 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 correct 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.
