Selling some pigeons!

Many years ago I sent some pigeons to a bird store to be
sold. On their pen I wrote this notice “No Better Blood'
Can be Obtained.” The next day the proprietor of the
store asked me to change the sign, saying that I had made
a glaring mistake. I stared at the sign for several minutes
without noticing anything wrong, Then he said “You say
‘Can be Obtained*.” We still stared uncomprehendingly.
“You ought to have said ‘Can’t be obtained’,” said the
man. Finally we convinced him that what we had written
right,” he admitted/
