Talk about your unfortunate typos ...

A little word play, man. PUBIC, not public.

 

Caught this in a college baseball roundup once:

"Fisher led Southwest Who Cares State with two shits."

Glad that didn't make it to print.

 

Saw this in an ad for a nightclub not too long ago, referring to the dress code: "Collared shits required."

 

I used to do that one too for some weird reason

 

I still think this one at my community college rag was classic:

"Below is the biological information about the candidates..."

 

I'm just glad I never had to write about the Mighty Dicks Mighty Fucks Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

 

Had a colleague accidentally misspell a girl's last name of Hunt with a C.

A friend once worked in HS radio (a bastion for gaffes). He said one of his fellow student newsreaders came across a story about Iran and discussed those "Sh*tty Muslims" (advisor, off-air, pulls the kid aside, and says, "Just for your information, it's Shee-eyet."

 

Scrappy became crappy when a typist (yes before email) forgot the s in a quote.

Coach was a great guy about it, because it was a "scrappy" team he was playing that week.

 

In the shadows of military base Fort Rucker, our news desker had a rather unfortunate typo.

Best part was the the mistake ran on a Saturday, but the apology/correction on a Sunday, so many people sat around saying, "Why did they apologize for misspelling Fort Rucker? What did they type? Did they type...Oh!"

Seeing the lightbulb click on one friend was pretty funny. We're all still employed.

 

A year or two ago, an area high school put a notice in our sports briefs looking for clock operator for basketball games, only I left out the "l" in clock. Of course, spell check didn't pick it up and I read right over it -- as did EVERYONE else at the paper.
We're a twice-a-week paper and the typo ran for a few issues until someone finally noticed.

 

Sounds like a second job right up my alley. 8)
