Our Favorite Typos

We are trying to keep to a nooze-free Sunday, and you can all help by supporting this blog with views and comments. Note I didn’t ask for money!

My wife types up our grocery list, and lately she’s found two recurring typos. I wonder what they mean.

*Instead of Uncle Ben’s Rice, she typed “Unclean Ben’s.” Dang that leprosy! Or maybe it’s some ritual uncleanness that can be put right… as long as you don’t eat the rice.

*And then there’s Wishbone’s “Fate-Free Italian Dressing.” Well, that’s a relief! I mean, really–you open a bottle of salad dressing and fate comes out??? We are profoundly relieved that Wishbone has taken care of that.

*Everyone has encountered this little glitch–you want to type “public school” and it comes out “pubic school.” Which, considering the latest developments in pubic education, isn’t so far out. (Ai-ya! Did it again, didn’t I? Some typos are more persistent than others.)
