From Thank You for the Giant Sea Tortoise And Other Unforseen Results of New York Magazine Competitions, Edited by Mary Ann Madden.
Today: titles, quotes, aphorisms with misprints due to the substitution or omission of a single letter. Here are the best (in my opinion, of course):
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bus."
"Wish you were her."
"I've got you under my ski."
"Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever God may be
for my unconquerable soup."
"A plaque on both your houses."
"Ruth is stranger than fiction."
"A fool and his Monet are soon parted."
"Do unto otters as you would have them do unto you."
" ... and the Cabots talk only to Cod."
Ha ha ha!
I must confess, I didn't quite get hte black pit or the Cabot to cod one, but the others, yeay!
Like: "I wish you were her", - priceless... - how one little typo can end a whole relationship
