you say best when you say...
A man opened a fish market and proudly hung up a sign that read FRESH FISH SOLD HERE TODAY.
A friend politely advised that it was not necessary to use the word TODAY because everyone knows that it is today. The merchant eliminated the word.
Along came a customer who suggested that the word HERE was superfluous since anyone could see that the fish is sold here. Again, the man shortened the sign.
A woman happened along and asked why the sign had the word FRESH on it, since everyone
knows that you only get fresh fish at a fish store.
Yet another person objected to the word SOLD since that, too, is a given for a shop.
That left a one-word sign: FISH.
The last critic looked up at the sign and said, “Why bother to have a sign that reads FISH? Everyone knows you sell fish. You can smell this place a mile away.”
