Has a Typo ever made you laugh?

[Wifetheif]

Over at 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back the bad bookclub podcast we are just finishing up a self published turd cslled "Kaelbi's Dream." by Kaelib Varney. Absoluetly abysmal writing but one that stood out was when a message was entrusted to "Furriers" folks that sell furs instead of the word the author meant, either "Couriers" or, since the dispatch involved the cavalry, "Farriers" blacksmiths. The fact that he so garbles the context it could be either word neither of which are synonyms or etamologically related really says something.

For the lack of an R, the story could have taken a serious turn.

Has a Typo ever made you laugh?​

Not here per se. But I’ve mentioned before signing off a work mail with “I’ll try to find us a slut.”

My editor just caught one that I had missed:

"I shit from foot to foot."

That is resolutely NOT the image I was going for, it was meant to be "shift"!

From a sermon: the strange rabbit from Gallilee

Speaking of typos and sermons, this reminds me of a debate regarding Exodus. Due to what might be a typo, the Torah describes one of the plagues as a plague of frog, singular. There is some joking debate about whether it was one Kaiju frog, or whether it was a single regular-sized frog causing chaos everywhere by playing the equivalent Untitled Frog Game: Egypt Edition.

“…And they felt the primal, unstoppable urge…to BREAD!”

I'm imagining System of a Down vocals when I read that.

Misspellings are understandable. Just don't use the term "snake" for a cock. Total mood killer.
