Some days, I catch typos. Other days the typos catch me, by the throat, and demand my attention.
At the bottom of an attachment explaining that some paperwork was incorrect:
"We apologize for the incontinence."
In capitals. And bold. And copied about fifteen times. Oh, man, someone so badly needs a dictionary... *snicker*
And not quite as dire, but still pretty funny, my boss sent around an email containing a "stress management technique recommended in the latest psychological texts"--basically you visualize that you're Far Away From Here, in a Lovely Secret Place. This is what they've got in Step 7:
"You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding underwater."
...as they struggle in your iron grip and turn purple from lack of air, presumably. *g* If you picked an appropriate person this could be quite a good stress management technique, mind you, but I really don't think it's what the writer had in mind...
