A fishmonger was getting a new sign made and he asked the signwriter to make it say "Fresh Fish Sold Here."
The signwriter quoted him £10 per word, took his brushes out and was about to start when the fishmonger said "you know what, we don't need the word 'fresh' , obviously it's fresh, nobody's gonna sell stale fish.
"In fact, come to that, we don't really need the word 'here'—that's obvious, a shop sign always goes on the shop. Leave out 'here.'
"And you know what, 'sold' is a bit silly, clearly I'm not giving it away, nothing's free in this life, my old man used to say."
The signwriter gives him a hard stare and says "Then I'll leave out the word 'fish' too, you don't need to say that cause you can smell the fucking things a mile up the road."
