TYPO ERRORS

1. A daughter sent a telegram to her father on passing
her B.Ed exams, which the father received as, "Father,
your daughter has been successfu in BED."

2. A husband, while on a business trip to a hill station
sent a telegram to his wife, "I wish you were here." The
message received by the wife was, "I wish you were her."

3. A man wanted to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing
a party. So he ordered a birthday cake. The salesman asked
him what message he wanted put on the cake. He thought for
a moment and said, "Put 'you  are  getting older but you
are getting better.'" The salesman asked, "How do you want
me to put it?" The man said, "Well...put 'You are  getting
older' at the top and 'but you are getting better' at the
bottom." When the cake was unveiled at the party all the
guests were agast at the message on the cake. It reads,
"You are getting older at the top, but you are getting
better at the bottom."

Morals:
1. Double proof read everything before you send.
2. Don't trust others to write it right for you.

Proofreading is most definitely our friend! It is amazing what a single letter put in or left out can cause.
