    When teaching, I used to have responsibility for Work Experience. Trouble was, my handwriting was never too neat, so "work" didnt look like "work" when written on a board in front of a class of students.

    My ex once sent me a message asking to meet for a drink but called me James, my name isn't James.

    Back then she wasn't used to predictive sext.

    I once presented my rather prim female boss with a letter for her signature which referred to a pubic convenience.

    When I worked on the paper there was a photo of a chap ringing church bells with 2 kids. His name was Tony Fuller but unfortunately it was captioned Tiny Fukker

    Yep. "Worker" tended to raise a titter when handwritten on a board, too.

    I was reading a local paper back int he 1970s, the Pontypridd Observer. Halfway through an article in a thin column was the line ';who pissed in the chips' ! It just appeared in the middle this article. Obviously one of the typesetters was having a laugh.

    I was once given this copy of Song of the Jolly Roger, obviously produced on someone's computer. It should read 'a ship from Spain'.....

    When I was in college a group of students from the class were asked to write an assignment, on the subject social care in the community, and discuss the differing views of each of us I interviewed one of the students, a lovely woman named Melanie, who was VERY well endowed on top and with which she was very conscious of. I typed up my 2000 word part of the assignment and carried out a spell check, then submitted it. Although I had spelt it correctly, every mention of the student's name had been changed to Melons.

    I wrote a salesy business email fairly recently to Venice-Simplon Orient Express and referred to them as Venice Simpleton Orient Express. They didn't write back.

    In my working days a lot of data input was farmed out abroad. A company director phoned up to ensure me that he lived in Kent and not K*nt.

    When working to find new electronic component suppliers in Asia, I once met with a guy from a company named "Fuk Hing Resistors";. No typo. I kept the business card for years afterwards!

    A lady I once worked with sent a letter to one of our customers at Virginia Water. We always kept a copy on file and she was devastated to see she had typed Vagina Water. By then the letter had already been posted.

    My missus told me that she once had a message from the receptionist saying that the head of the Welsh sandwich board had arrived for their meeting. He was in fact Head of the Welsh Language Board, and went ballistic. I suppose I should have put this message on in Welsh too but I can’t!!!
