| I saw one just this morning:
... When my boos saw some of the samples...
"Boos" should be "boss", of course. But was the author really
thinking of, ah, negative congratulations or of little errors?

I once created the typo "specifiction" in a manual I was
writing. I kept it that way, to see who'd notice.

| I got a mail message one time stating that the system was going to be
off limits to us over the weekend so that the publishing group could
work on an urgent "Boob Build" - They were referring to the term
BOOK Build.

| This is obviously an easy mistake to make - it was only about three
weeks ago that a press release was distributed around the office,
proclaiming digitals new solid state dick.

| 666.8 | Ethical jokes anyone? | WELMTS::HILL | Technology is my Vorpal sword | Wed Jun 07 1989 14:07 | 6 |
| -1
But some people may find ethical jokes offensive... I can't think of
anyone in particular at the moment, has anyone got any suggestions?

| 666.9 | okay, here's one | LESCOM::KALLIS | Anger's no replacement for reason. | Wed Jun 07 1989 15:35 | 14 |
| Ethical joke:
Two golfers, Pat and Leslie, were playing the seventh hole. Pat
sliced the ball, and both he and Leslie went looking for it in the
rough near the hole. Sufddenly, Lerslie heard a thump, and saw
a ball landing on the green, rolling towards the hole, but stopping
short.
"Two strokes," said Pat.
What should Leslie's response be, seeing as he has Pat's ball in
his pocket?

| From a flyer I received yesterday (computer surplus store junkmail), in
reference to some test program:
"can test serial and parallel ports using a lookback connector"
... PC gets a little retrospective ...
"the selected tests can be saved to a text file which can then be run
from a bath file"
... soaked your computer lately?
