When I was an Army chaplain's assistant, I typed letters for a colonel who was a Catholic priest. Following his last name, the initials O.S.B. were typed to indicate he was a member of the Order of St. Benedict.
One afternoon, I was in a hurry and didn't proofread the letter I put on his desk. He walked into my office and tossed the letter back on my desk,
"Are you trying to tell me something?" I glanced at the letter and turned beet red as I saw that I'd typed S.O.B. |
