garbage stale
What the printed plastic sign actually reads when you purchase it at the hardware/department store; this truly represents what many of the typical household-surplus provenders are attempting to pawn off on others over the weekend. Prior to posting the sign, people have to make a neat horizontal cut underneath the "r", and two vertical cuts --- one between the "r" and the "b", and the other between the "s" and the "t" --- and then slide the two halves of the sign together one letter's width to cover those two pesky "revealing letters" and form a new (and deceitful!) message.
Be on the lookout for staples and tape holding the "garbage stale" sign together, if you want to determine what those sidewalk-shysters are **really** selling.
