I have a picture at home of lick Willies Family Pool Hall, I'll have to scan it.
 
something about funny typos amuse the crap out of me

one time at work the publisher forwarded me a long business email (by mistake)
I had never spoken to the man, and was confused about the email

I replied with "what is this?" but my dislexia took over and i typed "what is shit?"
i didn't catch it until i clicked the SEND button :\
 
I remember walking up to a co-worker who had just finished editing a problem ticket (once saved, cannot be edited).

He looked up at me and in a dead pan voice said "I really should have spelt client with an "e" and an "n"." Took me a while to realise what he had done.
 
Once a company called LOCUM send out christmas cards and they made the O heartshaped so it spelled out I<3cum

well, i hope you get the idea, rotade the <3 so it points up.. it was hillarious!
 
For some reason the receipt is missing characters all over the bottom section. I'd say photoshop job but I'm not sure if someone would bother with the other parts, and yet, based on history... I dunno.

Not a photoshop job. Just a real life "see you next Tuesday."
 
I have the tendency to type too fast, and the word account is problematic. The o and the c get switched sometimes. If it weren't for spell check I would have been in trouble all too often.

Given the typo we're talking about, I read the phrase "cunning linguist" as something else... (say/slur it out loud) :evil:
