I saw the following slogan on the side of an oil
truck today. I thought I would put it to this group
to classify it for me.

   Young Oil Company  "We Deliver more than we Promise"

If you interpret their slogan as some sort of
a promise. Is the statement:  true,  false,  an
example of the 'Liars Paradox',  a type error, or what?

Actually,  I posted this more for amusment than anything.
I'm not trying to apply logic to the field of advertising.
