> There used to be a lingerie store near where I used to live. They always had a sign that said “50% off all lingerie.” I always thought that they’d do much better if they changed it to “Our lingerie is half off.”

Years back, a Victoria’s Secret had huge banners in its windows reading ALL BRAS HALF OFF. I wandered in to buy a ladyfriend present and couldn’t help glancing at the saleswoman’s chest. She said, quite calmly and without further provocation, “Not mine.”
