The antlers were the worst part, Tyler said later.


Please move to the sidewalk to ejaculate.


Get the hell away from me, Mom! Fssssssssss!


Hey Pepe, got any plans Friday night?


Go Chefs


Assfisting is what attorneys do best, no?


Now you know why Shirley is smiling.


Auto mechanic Michael Duplessis filed a lawsuit in April 2005 claiming that tattoo artist Sam Hacker inked "Chi-tonw" on his chest where he had asked for "Chi-town"


Just relax. You'll hear a slight "pock" sound, but don't be alarmed.


A classic


My "draem" is that stupid people spend more time in school and less time on the streets with signs.

A college fiend of my daughter's couldn't understand why she didn't receive any responses to her resume for a career in public relations. Some kind soul finally called her and pointed out her typo: Pubic Relations.

Like, omigod, wouldn't you have loved to have been in those offices when they received her resume!

(btw, my typo was intentional)

Brilliant. And I love the death head moth tat, Chi-Tonw.

Many years ago the local paper advertised a public beer tasting. But the 'L' got left out of 'public' and the spell checker missed it...

It was very well attended, BTW.

These are great. But as usual, it was YOUR stellar commentary that had me laughing out loud. :)

btw, congrats on hitting #2!! We'll get you up to #1 before you can spell suxess.

Our HR person sent out an e-mail for some employee benefit that was supposed to read, "If you want to sign up, please see me." She left out the see. We had so much fun picturing our little IT guy showing up in her office wearing buttless chaps and a scared look on his face preparing to "please her."

Standout comment of this post, "...you'll hear a slight 'pock' sound but don't be alarmed." As I retyped your comment my head was bent back in laughter. Hilarious....

Lindsey said...

Yeah, this made me laugh enough to hurt myself.

My dad routinely mis-types his street name, which is Twinkling Star. He types Tinkling Star, which makes more sense since most of his neighbors are incontinent retirees.

voronya said...

these are a scream.
i work at a newspaper and we once ran a headline about the officials looking at a local politician for taking items, it read, "meat found in deep thomas probe".
yes, it ran in the first edition before it was changed.

Aw, man I've been away from LOTD too long. The "pock" was definitely a high point in commentary.

Our city sends out a calendar each year that has all sorts of blurbs on city services. I wish I had kept the one from a few years ago that stated that our fire department's "#1 Goal" was "Serving the Pubic and Pubic Safety."

It made me see calling 911 in a whole new way.

These had me in stitches. :D Thanks for the laugh, Cary.

This post reminded me of the diplomas printed by the publishers Josten recently for Westlake High School in Ohio. The word "education" was printed as "educaiton."

I was in Bangladesh when a local paper ran an obituary for the legendary cricketer Bill 'Tiger' O'Reilly.

Some batsmen was reminiscing about facing the bowling of O'Reilly for the 1st time. He was bamboozled and 'looked behind me to see my BALLS gone'.

He meant 'bails', but this funny, funny typo might be hard to fathom for those who weirdly don't understand cricket.

And there is a classic Michael Leuning cartoon of a sad, sad man getting a tattoo on the chest. The tattooist has written 'BORN LOOSER'. He is saying 'sorry about that', and the born loser replies 'don't worry...'.

Perhaps have to see it, but I have no copy. Leunig is a treasure and an institution, but sadly poorly known outside Australia.

I honestly can't decide which is my favorite. Kate and I are such word nerds that we live for this stuff. HILARIOUS!

And, it's good to DREEAM.

T.Irwin said...

Hillarious! Thanks for the deep and much needed laugh!

Awhile back a group here was picketing the schools in an effort to say there were more black teachers needed. One of the picketers apparently needed any teacher, as his sign said, "We need more Afracan American teachers".

Too bad I didn't have my camera that day.

At the end of my freshman year of Mary Baldwin College the following term's catalog was printed and sent out to perspective freshman. On the back cover there was a quote something along the lines of "Mary Baldwin...Leading the way to future sucess."
