When the typewriter has a mind of its own
Seventh grade teacher Jean Oxrieder had two things working against her.
She was a lousy typist.
And she was in a hurry.
She was typing up "The Night Before Christmas."
But what she failed to realize, until after she had distributed copies to her students, was that she had made a mistake.
You know the line, "Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound"?
Sure. Well, instead of "a bound," she had typed "a blond."
"The boys in my class got a big kick out of that," she said.
As, no doubt, Santa would have.
