Here are 3 real life advertisements found in newspapers across the country. They are all funny, but I like the Back to School special. When Linda was in second grade, she used to stop on the way home from school at this small Mom and Pop paper store that sold candy. For weeks and weeks, the man would sell her 2 packs of gum for .25 cents, but only if she purchased 2. When she finally went in one day with her Mom, each pack of gum was only .10 cents each, so the old man was cheating her by .5 cents every day! I guess Linda should have paid better attention in math class.
