Confusing sign on the back of an old pickup.

[TheNinja]

So I saw a cardboard sign taped to the back off an old pickup in front of me today that said "Puppy's For Sale". I was confused.

The owner of the truck was letting road-going motorists know that he is interested in trading juvenile canine offspring for some form of currency.

If we break it down to what he wrote....

The truck was for sale.

Interstate Grammar Nazis! I hate those guys.

Just missing that pesky pronoun "this".

I'm confused. I read it as puppy(singular) is for sale.

Edit:
I suppose I'm being too pedantic here :^/

 

[Kadarin]

The puppy's what was for sale?

That's how it reads.

Fucking stupid pieces of shit should learn to write God damned English.

The puppy's what was for sale?

This.

Then he helped his uncle Jack off a horse.

Reading that sign I'd guess he meant the truck, but might still look in the back for a basket full o' puppies.

I read it as "Puppy's" (singular slang, not literal as a dog)

That doesn't mean the truck is for sale and he's calling the truck a puppy, you idiots.

He was probably at some point selling puppies out of the back of the truck (not uncommon) and didn't take the sign off.

EDIT: Just re-read thread, oops. Too stressed out.

I know a guy whose nickname is Puppy, I hope he's not that desperate.

Might wanna check your meter's. 😎

 

[manimal]

was it a isuzu pup ?

 

[ImpulsE69]

Makes me think...maybe it was the Trucks Name, like they do with boats...."Sir Sinksalot".

 

[TheNinja]

See I was thinking something of the Puppy was for sale. It never dawned on me that his truck was named Puppy and it's for sale. Or maybe their was a big sale on Puppy's "for" somewhere.

I LOL'd.

 

[GrumpyMan]

I'm sure he meant his wife's puppies.

I'm sure he meant his wife's puppies.
