Not as Advertised.

An old gentleman went into a grocer's shop and bought a packet of cornflour.

A week later he returned, and threw the empty packet on the counter. “It's a downright swindle!” he said to the man behind the counter.

“In what way was it unsatisfactory? asked the assistant.

“It's worthless,” the old man replied. “I've been putting it on my corns every night for a week, and they are worse now than when I started. I'm going back to the old-fashioned corn plaster again in future!”
