A cheeky young lad after having his hair cut turned to the barber and said, 'Right, I'll have my ice-cream now.'
'What do you mean?' said the barber.
'Well you have a sign at the front window which reads
What do you think? I'll cut your hair for nothing and buy buy you an ice-cream!'
'Oh n! replied the barber. 'My silly assistant put the punctuation marks in the wrong place.'
Can you explain how the barber should have punctuated the sign?
What? Do you think I'll cut your hair for nothing and buy you an ice cream?
I disagree.
"What do you think I'll cut your for? Nothing, and buy you an ice cream!"
