Devilish Typos Sneak Into Bulletins

Tom Schaefer Wichita (Kan.) Eagle

Typos have a way of making a writer look smelly. I mean, silly. Consider these gems from church bulletins, via The Door, a satirical magazine:

“The rosebud on the altar this morning is to announce the birth of David Alan Belzer, the sin of Rev. and Mrs. Julius Belzer.”

“Tuesday at 4 p.m. there will an ice cream social. All ladies giving milk will please come early.”

“Thurs. at 5 p.m. there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All ladies wishing to be ‘Little Mothers’ will meet with the pastor in his study.”

“Next Sunday a special collection will be taken to defray the cost of the new carpet. All those wishing to do something on the new carpet will come forward and do so.”
