- I accidentally uploaded the funniest misspellings I have ever perpetrated in
- my life:
-
- "Let's ask the American Tabasco Association what they think of lung cancer
- research."
-
- I meant the American TOBACCO Association. Actually, honestly, I do not even
- know if there is such an organization or not, but there has to be some kind of
- Lobbying & Influence Peddling Association to keep Congress on it's toes. I am
- sure they have a tough, thankless job too: imagine having to convince
- lawmakers that your industry should be allowed to kill 300,000 people per year
- with impunity. It must cost a pretty penny in payola and PR, but it is nothing
- compared to the lawsuits they would face if they were held to ordinary legal
- standards. Imagine how far the Bungee Jumping & Ultralight Association would
- get if they tried try to ramp themselves up to killing, say, 10,000 people per
- year.
-
- Ah, me, when I re-read "Tabasco" I laughed until tears came into my eyes. What
- would we do without automatic spell-check programs? Perhaps the American
- Tabasco Association is campaigning against research into heartburn and Taste
- Bud Devastation Syndrome.
