IJMC - Don't Believe Everything You Read 

So here is a question. Since I mostly send out things that other people 
have written, items submitted to me by you, the loyal reader and maybe 
even fan, does that make me a fraud? A big, one-time phony? A two-bit 
hack who could not even make it on his own? I hardly even know what made 
me think of that, but hey, that is the question...                 -dave






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.  Phone 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 annoying 
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!
