Ever notice a typo in one of your posts - the next day?
I swear Elad has a program that inserts them after the edit time expires.

To wit:

The thread: "What's the best gas mileage your current car can do?"

My post: "About 22 mph from the Ranger"






22 miles per hour. :eyes:





Yikes. :blush:

1. My dear Richardo!
I have done that too!

It is sooooooo embarrassing!:blush:

And there's not one damn thing you can do about it...

I always (well, nearly!) check my posts before posting...

Still, sometimes, things sneak through...

:hug:

2. Oh, cripes.
I been sittin' here for like five minutes thinking, "Wait a minute. There's nothing wrong with that. That's what it stands for. MPH = miles per hour. What's the problem?"

I'm all better now.:eyes:

5. Your shame is endless. You must now do this:


Okay, perhaps that's a little extreme. Besides, I'd miss you around here! :pals:

:scared:

You know, the thing is I over-wordsmith most of my posts*, and usually revise them a couple of times before hitting submit - you'd think I'd catch the dumber ones. :eyes:

Hey, and thanks for backing off the demand that I kill myself :loveya: You're a pal, Bunny!


*Not that it shows

On edit: TYPO!! :rofl:

6. Every day
Well.. very often.

I have a habit of drunk-posting in the wee hours. Some mornings are a hoot to see what nonsensical things I did type.

:hi:

10. You'd think Ford would have a more moderate speed limiter.
