Have you ever come across a very amusing or strange misprint.

I remember one from my childhood, actually from the good ole Radio Times.

It should have read that the Beatles were starring on 'Top Of The Pops' What it read tho was that The Beatles were starring on 'Top Of The Pope'

As mentioned on a previous thread, I liked one I saw years ago in The Star obituaries. It should have read "A dear, dear Dad" but actually read, " A dear, dead Dad"!

My favourite newspaper misprint, which appeared in the classified section of a national newspaper some years ago should have read

'Woman, 48, with no ties, wishes to meet suitable gentleman for friendship and outings

Unfortunately, there was a typographical error and it actually read:

'Woman, 48, with no tits, wishes to meet suitable gentleman for friendship and outings'
