Ah Bethberry, it is like the story of the agnostic insomniac who lay awake at nights thinking about Dog....

Mr. Holmes need not apply
Perhaps a few comments about this thread are in order. If I'm wrong, I'm sure Estelyn Telcontar, the thread starter, can correct me.
The point of this thread is not to finger publically the typo-ist. We don't put Downers in the stocks for public humiliation. Nor is it a public confessional where the previously anonymous Downer must contritely do a 'Hail Tolkien' and win absolution for the sin of a spelling mistake. It's a place to enjoy with others the unexpected humour of twisted letters, the comedy of cursory, quick keyboarding. Leave sleuthing alleged offenders for the Werewolf games and just enjoy double entendres here.

What Bb said...
(No naming and shaming, please, and preferably only those typos that have amusing connotations - at best, combined with your equally amusing comments and associations.)
