McPherson, who owned a theatre in Dundee, visited London to get some ideas for advertising. While walking through the City he saw a notice outside a cinema to the effect that all persons over eighty years of age would be admitted free.
“Just the thing.” he told himself. The following day he returned to his native town, and the first thing he did was to put a notice outside his own theatre:
“All persons over eighty years of age will be admitted *-ce, if accompanied by their parents.”
“I want 1o return this book I bought yesterday, ‘Stories for All Occasions/ ” announced the irate customer.
“What’s wrong with the book, sir?” inquired the shop-assistant. “Why, it’s a fake; it’s Incomplete! There’s nothing there for a man to tell his wife when he gets home at two o’clock in the morning.”
