I have been reading SWMBO’s copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, by Lynne Truss and have noticed a number of recently-erected signposts regarding fireworks that demonstrate exactly what she is writing about.
For instance, I’ve seen:
FIREWORK’S SALE
How interesting – I wonder what the firework is selling, exactly? I’ve also seen:
FIREWORK’S THIS WAY
Ah, so the firework is *that* way, is it? Well, if there’s only one firework, it’s probably been sold or set off by now.
