"What has fish to do with our summer sale?"
Our artist lazily draws a fish when he is asked to prepare something colossal or sensational to boost the last two days of our summer sale.
No, it has nothing to do with our summer sale whatsoever. But, we don't need any stunt at all. Anything will do -- even a sleepy fish, only the public is told that our summer sale definitely ends to-morrow, Saturday at 6.30 p.m.
