Editing, Anyone?


Well, last week we dishonored a new Ass Clown of the Month, and this week - given that I've decided to alternate Ass Clown awards with Great Moments in Editing, it's time once again for the latter. They're funnier, anyway.

There's some fine police work been done here ... 


I wonder if this house salad comes with a mortgage ...


This isn't an editorial faux pas, strictly speaking, but it just seems really wrong somehow ...


A little diversification in a business can help get it through difficult economic times ...


And as I was saying ...


 I'm not sure that the person who organized this year's entertainment will be invited back next year ...


Nor will this caterer ...


I've heard the term "cargo pants" before, but this is ridiculous ...


I hear she liked him because he was hung like a ... uh ... never mind ...


I'm not sure if this is an error of editing or of geography ... but it's pretty egregious, regardless ...


And there you have it, Dear Readers, yet another edition of Great Moments in Editing. Don't thank me ... I had plenty of help.

Have a good day. Double check before pushing the "post," "print," or "send" button ... you'll thank me later.

More thoughts coming.

I would be scared of giant hornets too, especially those who don't know where they are.

And that must have been a humongous duffle bag.

Pet eating contest? Goldfish?

Frozen chickens and tractor tires. Kind of like a store being a combination bait shop and tanning salon. Funny miseditings!

Some good ones, Bilbo...I'm still laughing at the Black Bra from yesterday!
