brooksmosesI just got a facebook ad for factory-second orange traffic cones.
My first thought: Seriously? Why would anyone be making ads for factory-second orange traffic cones and putting them on Facebook?
My second thought: Huh. I wonder how much a factory-second orange traffic cones cost? There might be things I could do with one.
My third though: Oh. I see. Right, then.
(I did not, in fact, buy a factory-second orange traffic cone at this time.)
