Thank Goodness We Caught This One

Due to a miscalculation of the size of the printable area on a CD, we almost silkscreened 2000 CDs which informed our customers that we have been "ouching lives since [year we were founded]."

That reminds me of a story a read about an anti-drug organization that handed out pencils, with the words "Too cool to do drugs" printed on them.

They made the mistake of printing the letters starting from the end you write with, rather than the end with the eraser. As the pencil was used, sharpened, and consequently shortened, the words would become "Cool to do drugs", and later, simply "Do drugs."

I remember reading about those pencils! I shared that with everyone at work when I saw that!

I had a few dozen of those from a visit by one of those groups when I was in High School. Most of my friends didn't want theirs, so I collected them, used them until it was down to the "Cool to do drugs" which is about the time many of the stoners in many of my classes needed a pencil and would consequently take that one.
