Dispatch from the morning E train

As seen on a subway ad for Dove Massage Body Wash:
"One massage pearl for every nanny you've paid more than you make."
Two things I'd like to point out to the advertising agency who make this sign:
  1. This is a subway ad. Not exactly the high priced nanny demographic last time I checked.
  2. This also makes no sense, since I can't pay someone more than I make.
I also caught a glimpse of this ad, run by the MTA, asking riders to "contribute to cleaner subway.":


At first glance, I thought the picture was the top of a stick of deodorant.

But no, it's just a trash can. I like my version more. At least it would make sense.
