Ed's you win

Our man in Canada, Ben has kept true to his word and sent me another batch of Canuck wordplay. I'll let him fill you in about Honest Ed's better than I can:

Honest Ed's is a Torontonian institution. It's a massive store on three levels that occupies an entire block. It's full of cheap crap - bad clothes, kitchenware, crappy batteries with brand names you've never heard of, plaster busts of Elvis painted gold, gaudy nativity scenes etc. And the store front is covered with stupid quotes like 'Honest Ed's a monkey - you can buy his bargains for peanuts', 'come in and get lost!' etc. But the only real pun is this one about the socks.



Thanks again Ben, but more importantly thanks to this man:



Now there's an honest man if ever you saw one, right? I've always thought the chap from the Quaker Oats box looked like he'd pay you back asap if you lent him a tenner. It does concern me when people feel the need to tell you they're honest though; in the same way that inmates always say they're innocent. But if I'm ever in Toronto I'm definitely checking out Ed's bargains.
