A good friend of mine sent this to me and it is too good not to share! A dying art indeed!
Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
The Editorial Room was called and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

Love these, Sylvia. My Dad was a printer at the LA Times back in the days when they cared about such things.
Of a slightly different vein in our local paper was the head "Patriots to city, $100,000 or less". They were referring to the tea baggers, of course. I e-mailed the paper they should use the full name of the party in quotes, I don't think these people are patriots and to shorten the name in this manner is inappropriate. I will admit to being biased, newspapers shouldn't be.
Giggling here :)
These are great! Thank you for my morning giggle!
LOL...these are just too funny. So clever. Have a great Friday my friend :)
hehehe, funny :))
Very funny. I blame it on texting.
Flash 55 - Help?
I love these, sylvia! I once had a job proofreading student performance evaluations written by faculty at a large university. Everyday, my team and I had a contest to find the most syntactically incorrect, most inane, most meaningless sentences of the day. We were highly entertained by the abundance of contestants!
terrific, as usual!
@Robin..you should totally blog about it!
Sylvia, these are the best!!
Thanks for the chuckles.
That´s why the distant cars start to speed up when I´m jaywalking on a quiet street. It´s not just in my imagination...
I LOVE these, Sylvia. I'm always on the lookout for errors like these and have come across many while writing for our provincial paper! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. (((Hugs))) Jo
Wonderful! Sadly, this lack of understanding happens all the time . . . whatever happened to READING and COMPREHENSION? Sacrificed to SATs and league tables, for all they mean . . . (sorry, off the hobby-horse now . . . )
