Yard Sales That Aren’t

My master was walking to work the other day and saw a sign that read “YARD SALE”. Now just what does this mean? The English language can be very confusing.

  • Is the yard for sale?
  • Is something for sale by the yard, for instance a yard of string?
  • What sort of yard is for sale?
  • Is the yard sale a place in which things are being sold?

Perhaps we should have a sign ordnance that uses the truth in advertising laws to indicate that the alleged yard sale is actually a sale taking place in a yard and the things for sale are broken, used, or unwanted.

OK you soon to be elected official persons. Law crafting time, and don’t just say “Tax it!”

That’s how we see it today.
