Eggplants
A grocer put up a sign that read "Eggplants, 25¢ each -- three for a dollar."
All day long, customers came in exclaiming:
"Don't be ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"
Meekly the grocer capitulated and packaged four
eggplants. The tailor next door had been watching
these antics and finally asked the grocer,
"Aren't you going to fix the mistake on your sign?"
"What mistake?" the grocer asked. "Before I put
up that sign no one ever bought more than one eggplant."
Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

Ronnie Barker had a similar ploy to offload Ginger Cake to an unsuspecting public in 'Open all Hours'.
For memory it was a glowing spelling error.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
