I'm not sure if this counts or not but I'm gonna post it anyway.
Before my bagging days I worked as a reporter/columnist in a local new paper. One of my duties was to type up the police blotter. So one day I get a phone call.
SC: Hapless innocent who I slandered.
ME: The "I" in the previous description.
SC: I wanna complain.
ME: Okey doke, What seems to be the problem?
SC: They said your the son of a B---- who types of the police blotter.
ME: I am that son of a B----, yes.
SC: My name's Druggy Mc Dugglestein. You said I was arrested for 'possession of crack with intenet to sell'.
ME: Oh...yeeeeeessss....
Now I'm a bit worried here because I've never actually got anything wrong before, not in the police blotter anyway. I just knew I had wrongly accused this poor guy of a horrible crime and that he was going to sue.
ME: I'll have to check the report the police gave me, but I'm assuming you didn't get arrested for possesion of crack with intent to sell?
SC: F--- No!
ME: I very sorry...
SC: It was powder coccaine.
ME: Uh...oh...kay...
SC: What are you gonna do about it?
ME: Well...I'll be sure to post a retraction and apology in the next issue.
SC: All right then, (Sounding pleased) Thank you.
ME: Uh..noooo problem.
So we did, we ran a retraction and gave our sincerest apologies for calling Mr. Drugglestein a crack dealer when he was really a coke dealer. I'm sure a heavy burden has been lifted from his shoulders.
