Spin on Language

I bought a rug a couple of weeks ago and peeled this label off the back:

Michelle pointed out the bottom line to me:

No illegal child labour in making of this handmade product.

Then she says, “They did not say that they didn’t use children.” I agreed, they did not say that they did not use children. A 10 year old Master Weaver made this product.

Nice.

    This reminds me of a time when the English Press asked Prince Edward if he was gay. Prince Edward responded, “No, I am not gay.” Front page the next day, the title was “Prince Edward Says He’s Not Gay.”

    Loaded questions.
