I frequently type "ass" instead of "add." I don't know
what Freud would say about that. Makes for interesting
procedures: "Be sure you ass the project to the master
list." Nice.

I belong to a large forum on another site, and one of
my typos is pretty infamous over there. I meant to
write something about a "dog and pony show," and I
wrote "dong and pony show" instead. That was five
years ago, and I still get teased about it!
