[AT] Some ads from the 8/11 Lancaster Farming

[Larry D Goss]

LOL!  That's what makes publications like the one you're dealing with and 
others like "Thrifty Nickel" so much fun to read.  I've always suspected 
that the ads were called in and miscommunication occurred because of speech 
patterns.  Didja ever notice that when someone leaves their phone number on 
your answering machine, the number itself is the only undecipherable item? 
People get so used to rattling it off that they assume whoever is on the 
other end can listen with the same speed that the caller can talk.
