Fish Is Sold Here

A man opened a fish shop, and above the door of the store he hung a small panel on which he wrote: Fish Sold Here.

A customer came and said to him: Why did you write the word “here”? Aren’t fish sold in other places?

So he deleted the word “here.”

Then came another customer, who said: There’s no need for the word “sold,” since people understand that you don’t give the fish away for free.

So he deleted the word “sold.”

Then came another and said: There is no need for the word “fish,” since people see it and smell it.

So he took down the panel.
