Wings and Beer

An old but true story: I saw a sign outside a neighborhood pub. It said, " $4.99 wings with beer ". I thought, "Wow, that's a good deal", so I went in and asked about it. A bar maid came and said, " If you buy a beer from us, we'll sell you half pound of chicken wings for $4.99." I asked, " How much is the beer ?" She replied, "$7.00 for a pint". I said "thank you" and left.

I couldn't help but laugh. I wouldn't say it was false advertising, because the sign didn't say " $4.99 for wings and beer." What it really meant was " $4.99 for wings with the purchase of a glass of beer for $7.00, in total $12.00 ". 

Again, I wouldn't call it false advertising, but certainly it was very tricky. Thanks for making me laugh !!!
