These four classified ads appeared in a local 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.

Quick Exercise for the Mind
Carry out this test; it's quite bizarre......
Just follow the instructions as quickly as possible but only one question at a time. Do not carry on reading the following questions before you finish the previous one.
You do NOT need to write the answers OR remember them - just do it using your mind.
You'll be surprised by the result.
How much is:
15+6
3+56
89+2
12+53
75+26
25+52
63+32
I know! Calculations are hard work but this is the real thing!
Come on a few more.
123+5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!
You have just thought about a red hammer, haven't you?
If this is not the case, you are among the people who have a "different" if not "abnormal" mind. Most folks answer a "red hammer" while doing this exercise.
If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.
