Thread Name: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
Subject: RE: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen
Bert: LOL! Nah, I'm pretty sure it was an honest mistake, especially since there was also a Shepherd's Stall set (misspelled "Shepher's Stall") that included a figurine of "A Shepher's"!

On the Tonight Show on Monday nights, Jay Leno has a feature called "Headlines" in which he displays various newspaper clippings with the sort of misspellings and double-meanings seen on this thread. This past Monday, he showed a newspaper ad for a business in Spring House, PA that was described as being across the street from the "Puke Restaurant". It's actually called the Pike Restaurant, but having eaten a few meals there I have to say that, in this case, the typo may indeed have been deliberately made!

I have an egg carton that I've kept for years simply because the brand name was printed at the same size as the word "eggs" and in a very similar font, so that it appears to be a carton of "Wolf Eggs".
