Fun With Typos

I'm reading through a tender for a project we will be bidding on and I got to this line:

"Within 10 days after contract award, provide to the Contracting Office, a rooster for all employees under this contract.."

I'm going to love it here!

Drac, they didn't say... we know, you're the only one that fits that qualification... heck, you have more than 205 years of experience, you're definitely a shoo in candidate.. :P

Well, Green Clove sounds like an interesting name for a restaurant. But chicken cutter is by far the best!

Happy Happy is right,.. you ain't seen nothing yet.. :)

I remember seeing an ad in Gulf Times, they were looking for executives, can't remember the exact content of the ad, but what stuck into my mind was that they were looking for someone with 205 years of experience, and I was like, "err ok, I'd take it they just made a mistake."

but then the next day, there's that ad again and it still says 205 years of experience! :P

You should see some of the typos we have for signs here in Bahrain... a restaurant by the name of "Green Clove" and the sign of a glove so they obviously mean green glove...Butcher by the name of "Bu Ali chicken cutter" and many many more.... Think I will take a pic of some of them and post them here ....
