Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I worked for a Lumber Yard
where the weekly sales advertisement included assorted sized paint
brushes. The sign was posted stating that we were selling Ass. Brushes
for 99 cents each.

Subject: Press '1' for English
Last evening I visited the nearby "hometown" lumberyard/hardware
supplier
(i.e., not Home Depot) in search of a part to repair a toilet.
Prominently
displayed in their window and all over the store counters was the
following
sign:
*Santa Clause will be here on (dates).*
**
I informed both the manager and the cashier about the error, boldly
taking
out my pen and scratching out the trailing 'e' on one of the posters.
How
would you have reacted?
