My intermediate Tue/Thu students found it funny, that there's a law in Kentucky saying that if you want to sell chicks or ducklings, you mustn't
dye them a different colour*. The very idea od dying chicks seems weird, as it is more probable that you might wish to dye your hair blond or your clothes - violet, which the
woman's wear brands try to make us believe is so fashionable these days. The issue of dying,
in turn, made me remember one advert on the window display of a
dry cleaner's in Baker Street, London, not far away from The Sherlock Holmes Museum:
Long live the copyrighters! Truly we live in the concptual age of creativity.
dye - farbować (pronounced the same way as "die" = umierać)
e.g. dye one's hair blond
woman's wear brands - marki odziezy damskiej
as=because
in turn - z kolei
dry cleaner's - pralnia chemiczna
