Typo...or was it?πŸ€”

@FandaSin @gutenberg_org either sleep deprived or high on something 🀣
@gutenberg_org Think that's just the Trump Bible draft

@gutenberg_org Our town has a series of Goods Exchange Days where you put unwanted items at the end of your driveway and people pick them up if they need them.

Our local newspaper (we had one years ago) ran a misprinted ad for Goodsexchange Day.

Hilarity ensued, and to this day there is a Facebook hashtag for #goodsexchangeday
