This coming weekend will be the second memorial service for my friend, Bill Bradbury, former-Oregon Secretary of State. One of his duty's would have been to oversee the staff who wrote and failed to catch the following typo in the printed ballot mailed to millions; "There will be no pubic funds associated with this measure."

He laughed and laughed when it was pointed out.

This is hysterical. You know, the latest of Apple is to click the space bar and supposedly the word you want to write appears with no typo... Unless the context went wrong.

"The context went wrong." is my new favorite saying.

Funny! I've had reports where I proofread it, 3-4 others proofread it, and still find errors just before testifying in court! Shirt!
