This Is A Bad Sign, Part 2
(We have signs all over the store advertising 30% off hardcover books in huge letters. A customer approaches, holding a paperback.)
Customer: “So, this is 30% off?”
Me: “No, sorry it’s only the hardcovers that are on sale, as the sign says.”
Customer: “Well, that’s very misleading.”
Me: “Sorry? Why is that sign misleading?”
Customer: “Well, it’s misleading because I didn’t read the sign properly.”
