Callie,

I love the wheel is turning but the hamster's dead! lololol

I thought of a few more funny, stupid things but they occurred in a written context...

I used to work at a public relations company and one of the account execs had a new secretary who was very sweet but couldn't type to save her life. There was a letter that was sent to a very prestigious-type of muckety muck whose name was "Mr. Marian." But on the copy of the letter (after it had been sent) we found that, instead of putting "Dear Mr. Marian" at the top, she had put, "Dear Mr. Martian."

Another time, she had typed a letter to the New York Times "Arts & Leisure" section but (my hand to God) in the body of the letter, she said something like, "We are thrilled that you have decided to include (client's name) in your upcoming edition of "Farts & Leisure."

Needless to say, in a manner of speaking, that's all she wrote....fired! But I still chuckle at the memory.
