The other day, I recieved an email from my crazy relative that made my day.  It was entitled:  Amazing Simple Home Remedies that REALLY work!

Well he’s on a roll…had to share!

This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room 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.

    Hahaha. Love it.

    I used to do freelance reporting for the local newspaper, and after experiencing what it was like to work in the field and shoot out numerous articles in ridiculous time frames, I can see how some of these seemingly obvious mistakes go overlooked. This is one of the reasons why I concluded that working in the field was not for me. Ick!

    And again, thanks for sharing some humor. :)

      Glad you liked it. I decided that Mondays I will start off with a little humor. So check in tomorrow morning.

  9. Thanks for starting my Monday morning out with a smile. My mom was always good at spotting these kind of headlines and stories in the paper. Our favorite was one in the late ’70′s about how a robbery was solved when the alleged perp dropped several of his pink rubber curlers while fleeing-maybe he needed money for a Gericurl.

    • confab says:

      Hi Karen,

      Love the gericurl story. I am glad this one gave you a laugh. I posted a discussion thread about sharing jokes today on my community. If you have any to share, please post.
