Summary

This quote humorously captures a play on words, highlighting a misunderstanding or miscommunication that may occur during a transaction. The speaker apparently misunderstands the purpose of a garage sale, thinking that the actual garage is up for sale rather than the items being sold within it. The response, "It's not for sale," reveals the confusion and humorously clarifies that the garage itself is not being sold at all. The quote can be seen as a lighthearted reminder to be clear and specific in our communication to avoid misunderstandings.
