This reminds me of an ad the hub and I saw for lawn tractors probably a good 10 years ago now that we still make jokes/laugh about.
One of the models was featured as having “a shit on the go” transmission.
One wonders if there was a hole conveniently placed in the seat.
I came across some of my favourite typos while working as a proofreader in a savings & loan.
Salutation on a letter: Dear Sir or Madman
Boilerplate contract: If you accept this officer, please sign below.
Property description of a house on a lake: House has a six-foot dick
Luckily for me, most of my coworkers found these to be as funny as I did. The first one, though, has to be my favourite of all time. I nearly let it go out that way.

One might even find it upchucklable.
Hey! I only hit submit once! And I didn’t even refresh. pout Spoiled my perfect no-double-post record. Sorry 'bout that, folks.
I was working on a book once about baseball. One of the chapter titles in the first proofs appeared as “The Shit Heard Round the World.” I regretted having to fix it in the proofs, but I still have a copy on my bulletin board.
I think you should have let the “madman” letter go out that way, Morgyn. That’s freakin’ hilarious. Maybe I’ll have to start “accidentally” using that salutation on my official correspondence to The Man.
They don’t. Their brains were long ago transferred to jars, and their bodies are animated with orgone and intravenously administered Twinkie filling. They aren’t dangerous, usually, unless they suspect you’ve somehow discovered the truth about them.
This is also reminding me of a god-awful but very funny typo that fortunately never made it out the door.
At the time I was responsible for writing press releases at my job. At the top of the release you always put your contact information, title, etc.
I managed to list myself as the “pubic relations coordinator.”
The part that really made it bad was that at the time I worked for a Catholic high school for girls.
Hey, I think it was worth repeating - “Dear Sir or Madman” made me laugh so hard I had tears pouring down my face! Thank you for making my day that much better. 
Man, I love typos.
You forgot to mention that the people who look at you with a blank face when you say something funny and instantly correct you are the people that will preface everything they deem funny with: “You know what’s REALLY FUNNY?” (so you can’t MISS the joke that will follow)
Then they will proceed to say: “The story about <insert punchline here>!”
It doesn’t matter what you answer, they will then start telling you the whole thing from the beginning and wonder why you don’t laugh about the punchline that follows after what seems like an hour of pointless rambling. Gah!
Or, if they do not become Lizard’s sister-in-law, they become my mother-in-law. She has no sense of humor, period. She thinks Fox News is for real, for Chrissakes!!
:eek:
Hey! I have a (terrific, if I may say so myself) sense of humor and I thought Fox News was real. Then, one day, when they were talking about the US potentially declaring war on Iraq, at the bottom of the screen I saw it. It was in big, italicized letters. It said, simply, ‘Iraqnophobia’.
I know, I know, I should have caught on when they gave Bill a show or at least when they hired Geraldo. What can I say…some days you can get the fastball by JuanitaTech.
I love unintentionally hilarious typos and puns.
I once worked for an attorney who bought every new item of computer technology. Once he tried voice recognition software, and some of the ridiculous gibberish it generated had me laughing so hard that I was wetting my pants. When I tried to tell him why it was so funny, he would just gape at me slack-jawed.
Funny names are also a good source of hilarity. To this day, the name “Professor P. Dicky Yip” has me in stitches. His name was listed as one of the teachers of a law seminar years ago.
::Snicker:: “Professor P. Dicky Yip”
My husband is humor-impaired. Before we married he faked having a sense of humor. It was after the wedding that I noticed the vacant look in his eye when I told a joke. Now it amuses me greatly to make jokes that I know he’ll never get. It’s my goal in life to actually tell him something that will make him laugh til he cries.
It’s actually five, but we’re humoring the house.
In a recently-published book an uncle of mine wrote, a character is referred to having “the foulest moth at the sawmill.”
What was his name?
Heck, even this thread is cracking me up! My husband is also humor-impaired although I’ve been able to make small adjustments to his humor level over the years. Repeated exposure to my completely insane family has worked rather well, as has my laughing out loud late at night at something here on the SDMB and waking him up. Then I make him read the thread or comment that cracked me up.
Okay, so he doesn’t always find the humor in that but I think it’s pretty funny.
HEY! I resemble that remark! Swedes are funny, at least to look at. We gave the world ABBA and Survivor, ffs. Doesn’t get much funnier than that.
