Thanks to Fenway Fran for the heads-up.

  4. I’ll bet that more than one of these gets framed. Heh-heh.

    Fryer Tuck immediately knew that the “Lyndon B Johnson School of Pubic Affairs” was an error. He claims it should read “John F Kennedy…” etc etc

    My cousin, Jesus Hachecristo, disagrees. “It says ‘johnson’ right in there, cuz. And every johnson is pubic,” he insisted.

    It’s hard to argue with logic like that.

  6. You know, that particular typo is such a classic joke in the newspaper business that one tends to think any instances of it happening are apocryphal.

    Well, ole Lyndon was known to be a little crude on occasion, so this just fits right in.

    Some of my favorite comments are from Lyndon — crude but damned funny. I call them “Lyndonisms.”

    It’s what happens when you rush folks through stuff with mandatory overtime.

  10. Reminds me of the time my company engraved 2500 cards for Wolfe Jeweers (Jewelers). Big lock letters and no one caught it.

    Looks like the proofreader was suffering from cerebral flatulence.

  11. We still have in our possession a front page of the sports section of the newspaper where we used to live. Yes, punt return was spelled with a “c.” Only about 100,000 copies were printed.

  12. Not a typo, it comes as an afterglow from the repub legislature’s work to get into women’s pubic areas.

  13. Had this particular typo come out of our Public Information Office in a state agency where I formerly worked. Fortunately it was an internal memo. Spellcheckers do not catch real words. Spellcheckers with autocorrect are even more dangerous. The same agency had a letter that changed “underserved” to “undeserved.” Don’t remember if that one escaped into the wild. I turn off autocorrect on every new bit of software I receive. My mental dictionary knows more words than their dictionary file, which is just sad. Dumping more words in wouldn’t take that much more memory, even if some of them are not used as often. And most spellcheckers upchuck on compound words in general. The one on this browser doesn’t like “underserved” or “autocorrect.”

    daChipster, from what I’ve read of my history, your cousin’s comment on johnson/pubic is spot on.
