As most here know I frequent yard sales. I was at one this past weekend and noticed a brand new snow shovel for sale for $1.00.

I turned to the Millennial couple and asked "so you are moving out?". They looked at each other then looked at me like I was a wizard and the gal said "yes we are, how did you know?"

I said because you are selling your new snow shovel. Nobody sells a new snow shovel around here unless they are moving.

I'm surprised that it wasn't a rare shovel made in 1939 by the ill fated Magnesium Shovel Corp of Utica NY.

I worked at a place that had a few #10 Beryllium scoop shovels. I don't even want to think what they cost.

BTW......A tell-tale or telltale is an indicator, signal, or sign that conveys the status of a situation, mechanism, or system. - Wiki

No.

The sign Tells a Tale.  It gives you a clue.


A tall tale is a lie or a gross exaggeration.
A tall tale sign isn't a thing.


A tattle tail is a low down, dirty snitch.
