self-defecating is really no big deal; it's when you need other's help that it becomes a problem.

tell yr dad to chin up.

nah, dad just cares that his prose was on tv. dad is shameless.

ha ha ha ha. most awesome.

I saw the installment of Headlines Monday night. If I'm up and watching and Dave is not doing Small Town News at the same time, I always flip over to Leno to watch that segment.

Wow, that was your dad.
I'm having a hard time understanding how such a error could have been made editorially though.

Hahahahaha! I almost never watch Leno, but I do like the Headlines segment. I actually happened to see that very headline, and it cracked me up. Kudos to your dad!

Honestly, I'd consider it to be an honor.

In college one of my part-time jobs was making sale signs in this department store. I did this on one of those old-fashioned letter presses where you plop in the text letter by letter, roll ink over the letters, then press and roll the paper over it. All by hand, essentially.

I had to make a sign advertising a Golf Shirt Special. Made it, sent it up to the Men's Department, men's manager hangs the sign. They don't notice until almost 9 p.m. that I missed the letter "r" in the word "Shirt".
