    A large roadside sign, too nicely arranged to have been hit by vandals. It said only this:

    30% OFF
    DUMMIES

    That's nice, but I have enough of them already--and they were free!

    Being a pessimist and cynical wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't right so often!

    No no, you're reading it wrong. You get to take of 30% of a dummy. Now personally I'd go in and ask if we get to pick which 30%.
    How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?

      In a similar vein, my sister got a coupon for a hairdresser. It just says

      (name of hairdresser)
      this coupon good for 20% off


      I wonder, if you give them five of them will they shave your head?

        Rather off the main topic, and I apologize, but Soul's post reminded me.

        When one of my older sisters turned 33 1/3, my favorite brother decided to surprise her with 33 and 1/3 plastic flamingos on her property. The 1/3? I heard it was a head.

        My family's nuts.

            Any amount of us as a group out in public is entertaining...and maybe a small bit scary. We're nuts.

                  Yes, it was a head.

                  Yes, she still has it.

                    I guess that store is desperately trying to sell off some of it's customers.
                    It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

                      Or some of it's less-than-stellar employees!

                      I drove back the same Chapter's earlier today. Today, the sign read:

                      BRIAN MULRONEY'S MEMOIRS
                      30 % OFF

                      I think I'd take the dummies, thanks.

                          I once saw advertised:

                          "Get two books for the price of three!"

                          Just a typo, obviously, but I would have loved to see the classic SC in there:

                          Employee: "With those two books you are buying, you could get a third one for free".
                          SC: "No, no, it says on your sign that I pay for three books and get to keep two! I *demand* that you charge me for a third book!"

                          Of course, that wouldn't happen, would it?

                            We once had bunches of tulips on sale at £1.50 per bunch, three for £4.50. Nobody noticed they weren't getting a deal. We didn't realise we weren't offering a deal.
