Heh. Reminds me of a time about 10-15 years ago when Boston cops were standing around Downtown Crossing and handing out political fliers. They were demanding higher pay, of course. There was a typo on EVERY line, so I couldn't resist writing a letter to the Globe about it. I suggested that the flier showed that the money for the pay raises would be better spent on the educational department, or on remedial spelling courses for the police.

The Globe liked that letter; they ran it three times, once on Sunday.
