Subjects and Objects.

Driving through the city yesterday, I saw a sign for one of the season's last garage sales, gamely trying to drum up an audience before the frost. It looked like this:

On the other hand, I couldn't help but smile when I drove past the sign, and saw their aborted first attempt on the other side:



Yes. You go, baby.
