Thought I'd share my typo so everyone can have a laugh at my expense...
In one of our menus (already printed), I somehow managed to make an innocent food item like peking duck into peking dick. Why do the "i" and the "u" have to be right next to each other on the keyboard? I wonder how many orders we'll get for that item! :o

Well from what I understand, buffalo penis is a delicacy in certain parts of the world.

at least you didn't mistype duck with an f ...after all, d and f are right near each other on the keyboard too.

I find that my OCR software has a dirty mind.
I once scanned a document that substituted
"Mass age the rapist" for "massage therapist"
There were several others that I can't remember specifically, but very, very perverse - often just a juxtoposition of ordinary "clean" words that read very, very dirty.

Personally I'd prefer my typo over yours. I don't think I'd order the dick ... but with my typo ... I might be more likely to order it.
Fuking Duck, Craig, is a specialty dish of the Fukenese. And it's pronounced "Fook-ing Duck", by the way. :D
A Peking *uck, on the other hand...

One of the funniest things about this is that it is under our "themed parties" and it's theme party name is "The Emporer" lol.
Does anyone else have good typo errors? I love them. When I used to work for a retail store, one of the copywriters wrote copy for a fireplace and said that it starts with Jet Fuel. Haha. It was supposed to be "Jel Fuel".

I hope the theme party name isn't "emporer" ... otherwise you have another typo ... because it should be "emperor"

Does that come with a "happy ending"?

Not really a typo, but in High School english I once handed in an outline for a paper. While I was writing the outline I didn't know what I was going to but for a section so I just wrote:
Topic
details and proof bullshit bullshit bullshit.
With the intention of going back and fixing it later. Later came I forgot, and handed it in as above.
My teacher was a real hard ass too, and she came over to me in class and asked me if I thought I was funny. When I explained what I'd done, she actually laughed a little.

"Mass age the rapist"
How was this sentence used? It doesn't make sense.

In my English class in high school, we had a pop quiz and one of the questions was "What is an oxymoron?" I had no clue, I didn't even remember ever hearing the word in class. I wrote "An idiot with acne?" Her response was "Funny, but wrong."

i made a brochure once and somehow in one of the paragraphs of copy, there were no R's... I am clueless on how that slipped by.
Well, I hear that Bangkok or Beijing are the places to go for that, but what do I know? ;D

Bangkok yes. Beijing no. At least I didn't see any of that going on when I went there. You must have gone to different places in Beijing than me huh Ned?

well once i signed a birthday card to my mother in law, and it was supposed to say, "I hope you have a great birthday", and I accidentally wrote, "I hate you, you miserable mean spirited bitch." so that was kind of wierd.
