What's the most entertaining/ridiculous typo you've ever made that was seen by, you know, people?
I once wrote in a manuscript intended for publication, sent to half a dozen coauthors, some at other institutions, "...men who have sex with men (MSM)..." except I missed ONE GODDAMN LETTER.
My colleagues all informed me, with varying levels of amusement, that I had actually written "...men who have sex with me (MSM)..."
Pretty big bang for that tiny buck.

@guyjantic a colleague in her email asking her boss for additional unpaid leave so she and her husband could visit both their brothers in New Zealand:
"Graham and I both have a brothel in New Zealand".

@outinthehills That would still be totally reasonable, right? It's not like she asked for paid leave.
