Perfect for vandalizing trees with carved graffitti.

Apostrophe catastrophe strikes again!

I'm not getting it. The friend belongs to the man, singular: A man's best friend. What am I missing?

"Many styles at your dealer's [establishment]." *shrugs*

I saw it as trying to make plural "dealer". So often an apostrophe is used in error. Or it could be, in this case, left singular "at your dealer". I thought later after posting that it could have been set up as meaning "...your dealer's (place of business)." A legitimate though kinda old-fashioned manner of speaking. Just seems a bit awkward, is all.

Book me passage on the failboat.

Wow, I have a knife that looks EXACTLY LIKE THAT; it was given to me new in the late 1990's. Some styles never go away.

Man oh manischewitz!...as a horticulturist, I want to take whomever drew up this ad and carve a heart with a knife into their back or inner thigh, or some other sensitive spot.

Horrible.

Whoa, what an incredible knife! Not only did it cut through that tree, but it seems to have clipped her left shoulder, also! Talk about "turn on."

Is that a woodworker in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

It was important for young men to know that vandalizing nature was a turn-on for women. Almost like a Public Service Announcement.
