12/12/2003: "Worst/Best Typo Ever"

I was going through some papers the other day in search of an elusive bit of information I needed for work when I ran across a portion of an old newspaper that I had saved.

Why did I keep it? The Feb. 24, 1991, edition of The (Shreveport) Times Sunday Magazine contains the worst typo I have ever seen. (Or best typo, depending on your point of view.) I kept the paper because I knew no one would ever believe me if I didn't have proof.

After I found it (again), I scanned it so that I would have an online copy in the event I ever wanted to show it to anyone. So I thought I would share it with you. (I know it's not a great scan, but the original wasn't a great print to begin with. It's good enough to see the typo, though.)

It makes me giggle every time I see it, although I know at least one person who might be offended by it. So if you're that person, don't look.
