Telegram

Have you ever received a note or a telegram with some humour in it due to some typo error? A friend told me one of her colleagues left a note to a manager in another department that had the entire office amused for days. Her note read, "Please me" when it should have read "Please see me".

Here are a few interesting telegrams...

A daughter sends a telegram to her father on her clearing B.Ed exams, which the father receives as, "Father, your daughter has been successful in BED."


A husband, while he is on a business trip to a hill station sends a telegram to his wife, "I wish you were here."

The message received by wife said, "I wish you were her."


A man wants to celebrate his wife's Birthday by throwing a party. So he goes to order a birthday cake. The salesman asks him what message he wants to put on the cake. He thinks for a while and says let's put, "You are not getting older you are getting better".

The salesman asks, "How do you want me to put it?" The man says, "Well, put "You are not getting older", at the top and "You are getting better" at the bottom. The real fun didn't start until the cake was opened. The entire party watched the message decorated on the cake,

"You are not getting older at the top, You are getting better at the
bottom".

    That's why documents have to be reread millions of times

  2. Z, sometimes we can read and reread it over and over again and yet mistakes escape us. It has been proven that if we read it aloud, mistakes can be caught. Worth a try.
