13. Good ordering of information






So I have a terrific example of poor ordering of information, but I didn't take a picture of the sign before they changed it. However, it was a sign at a Chevron in Orem. It was arranged thus:

BUY A CAR
WASH WITH GAS
GET 10 PERCENT BACK

I guess they should have used some punctuation or rearranged the wording a little. I'd rather not take a gas-bath at a car lot, but if it saved me 10% of that car purchase, I might be tempted. I laughed every time I passed it, but never bought my gas there.     The picture here is the same sign but the opposite side.

    When our eternal soul
    leaves our mortal body
    to meet our Maker,
    only four, last things remain:
    death, judgement, Heaven or Hell
    according to the deeds WEE mortals
    accomplished in our expired existence.
