Ad announced, "$500 Mercedes! New!" The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Mercedes for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but he said to himself, "It's worth a shot."
So he went to see the lady who was selling the Mercedes and she led him into the garage. Sure enough, there was an almost brand new Mercedes. "Wow!" the man said, "Can I take it for a test drive?"
"Sure," answered the lady. Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly. When he got back to the lady's house, he asked her, "Why are you selling this great Mercedes for only $500?"
Lady replied, "My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me, 'You can have the house and the furniture, just sell my Mercedes and send me the money.'"
