"Today’s Special "consists of an erect sandwich board with a phrase written in chalk on each side. The work plays on a misreading of the customary phrase: if the apostrophe were to indicate an abbreviation of the verb ‘is’, the sign would mean ‘Today is special.’ One side reads TODAY’S SPECIAL, while on the reverse, in a further allusion to the misreading it says, TOMORROW’S ANOTHER DAY.
