in typos veritas

I've just sent a (work) email to a bunch of people in Paris, where I
miskeyed a "t" instead of a "g" when I meant to sign-off "regards"

I'm sure they'll see the funny side.

 

hah, brilliant.

 

I seem to have just verbally dismissed a chinese colleague's suggestion
of the Japanese Canteen for lunch with my usual "it's all gook food".

Oops.

 

good call. Though I'd dismiss a suggestion of Japanese Canteen for
lunch on the grounds that it's over-priced crap.

whatever - they'll get over it.

 

Oh lord that's a Doozy!

 

"over-pliced clap", surely?

 

"Over-priced crap", surery?

Oh, borrocks.

 

Derek Fowlds (reading from adventures in China) - "Eventually he came
to the Street of a Thousand Snakes. You know what that was, Basil?"

Basil Brush - "Sounds like a road of cobras".

 

LOL!

Please tell me that is genuine.

 

Yep. The BB Show in the early 70s with Derek Fowlds was, IMHO, the
source of some superb puns, some of which I can (partially) remember
to this day. I dunno who did the scripts.

DF - "Can you typewrite, Basil?"
BB - "I can, but I can't type right. I'm not the right type."

BB- "What do you think, Major Bump?"
Major Jump - "JUMP. Major JUMP"
BB - "Of course you made me jump, shouting like that."

 

Mr Derek was my favourite.

 

I only learned recently that BB was modelled on Terry-Thomas.

 

Life's too short to proof-read e-mail too?
