» Tramps
Slightly misleading ticket
During my time at University I had the pleasure of working at the wonderful store Toys R Us. In the summer I'd usually work on the outdoor toys section due to the increased demand. One of the bestselling things at this time was trampolines, particularly the small, junior blue trampolines for younger kids. Now, at Toys R Us instead of having these out on the shop floor we printed tickets so people could collect them after they had paid. These tickets had a character limit for the title which was fine most the time, Junior Blue Trampline fitted perfectly. However, when these trampolines were re-released with a protective net around them the ticket changed its meaning quite dramatically. We now had tickets offering this fantastic deal:
JUNIOR BLUE TRAMP. WITH CAGE - £49.99
I always checked the customers expressions when they recieved their trampoline in the hope that at least one would look disappointed at not recieving a friendly little hobo to take home...sadly, they never did.
