In looking at the statistics for the ivman.com site, I see that many people view the funny pictures, but not many at all look at some of the four years’ worth of humor archived there (see the pre-blog archived iv’s link in the sidebar). So I decided that every once in a while, I’d post a sampling of some of the classic humor that’s out there, along with a link to the rest of that iv.
One of my all time favorites is the church bulletin bloopers - things that have actually appeared in church bulletins through typos and/or poor proofreading. I found some great pictures recently that show the same sort of errors. Here they are…
Detals! Detals!
Here are several road signs that are great bloopers….
I’m surprised they let the baggage on board!
I wonder if English is this woman’s official language….
Now on to the sampling of the bulletin bloopers….
Actual announcements taken from church bulletins:
The Pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday morning.
Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.
Ladies don’t forget the rummage sale at - this is a good chance to get rid of things not worth keeping. Bring your husbands.
Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person(s) you want remembered.
A new loudspeaker system has been installed in the church. It was given by one of our members in honor of his wife.
The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been cancelled due to a conflict.
The church will host an evening of fine dining, superb entertainment, and gracious hostility.
Weight Watchers will meet a 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church. Please use large double door at the side entrance.
Next Thursday, there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
Congratulations to Tim and Rhonda on the birth of their daughter October 12 thru 17.
Diana and Don request your presents at their wedding.
The activity will take place on the church barking lot.
Please welcome Pastor Don, a caring individual who loves hurting people.

OK, I’m in charge of producing the bulletins at our church - and “blooping” is easier than you might think. My worst one was in announcing a “SINspiration” for an evening service.

Oh yikes. I wonder how many of that kind of goodies show up on my blog?!

To both Lani and Carrie:
Typos and bloopers are soooo easy to do, and (much to the chagrin of some of my readers who don’t have their blog readers set to ignore updates of posts), I often have to go back and tweak things I’ve posted. In fact a friend told me this morning that I had put an extra verb in one sentence of this post. So I deleted one of them. It’s so easy to make errors! To err is human, to moo bovine!

To err is human - but to really make a mess of things takes a computer!
