I was hurrying along, running some errands at C Mall when I came across a peculiar notice. A very baffling and amusing notice.
Next to a display of portable vacuum cleaners was a handwritten sign that read:
PROMISES UNDER CCTV SURVEILLANCE.
I thought, "My eyes... something is wrong with them. Isn't it supposed to be 'Premises' instead of 'Promises'? Maybe the handwriting made the 'e' look like an 'o'..."
I went to take a closer look to examine what I had read.
Ah yes, I have learnt something new yet again. A Single Letter can change the entire meaning of the word and sentence. Yes. It was definitely "PROMISES UNDER CCTV SURVEILLANCE".
Wow, we really have to be careful about making promises.
