I'm sure you've all seen bloopers in newspapers or bulletins but this one was too funny not to share.
My church is having its annual Holly Berry Fair next week & the local paper carried the ad about it. The text was supposed to read "there will be crafts, baked goods and..."
but the girl at the paper typed it as "There will be crafts, naked hoods and..." and of course, no one in the proofing dept caught it.
Well, everybody at our church is cracking up, particularly the woman who called the paper about the error. The typist got on the phone & was mortified.
So what have you seen lately? Anything amusing?

But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

 that's a good one. Well here we see from time to time a blunder...not really amusing but the local teens have a habit of playing with the gas price stickers. Some mornings gas is priced almost free, other times too expensive for the rich to buy.

That is funny. I don't have any to contribute. Except what I typed on another website failing to see the double meaning. I really was talking about flowers. Well I hope the naked ladies are happy and produce lots of babies this year.

I'm sorry if this seems disrespectful...but does anyone else find this headline kinda odd?
Yes...a fatality would definitely take the life of someone.....![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/afgreyparrot/gh8/dec013.jpg)

It is certainly wierd grammer or usage, Cindy!

That's the only reason I bought the paper...it kinda jumped out at me wen I was in the local store.
Fatality = Death
...so "Death Takes Life of 'someone'.....
Uhhh...no sh!t Sherlock!

Crash Causes Fatality would be far better usage! Somehow I don't think the editors were paying attention!

I swear, I am on the verge of writing a "Letter to the Editor" about it.

You may as well point it out to the Editor, Cindy. They will be more careful in the future!
