We over here in the UK have not had much to say about the CBS forged document proving that President Bush stole an airplane while on drugs and flew to Mexico for a holiday instead of doing his basic training being shouted at by Louis Gossett Jnr., or whatever it was he was supposed to have been doing. Well, apart from this.

My problem is doing superscript. Let me see if I can do it. Rather. Worth a try. Well I told the "th" to go up a bit higher then down again, but nothing. NoUPthDOWNing. Oh well, apparently Mark Steyn did the same thing and that joke got lost in the final version on the "MSM" (that's main stream media) website that published it.

Also: you say pajamas, we say pyjamas.

Natalie Solent reckoned the "forgery" could have been a draft which got out of control and got passed off as the real thing before the forger could finish his work. Her original surmise included that he was going to put in the proper address later, but that his obvious nonsense PO Box ("34567") became the final version. But apparently, as an emailer to her later reported, that address is genuine.

My favourite cock-up along these lines, and apologies if I've mentioned this here before, is to be found on my version of a CD of Mahler's 7th Symphony by Rattle and the CBSO for EMI. In among all the stuff about who did the technical work (Producer/Produzent/Directeur artistique: whoever, Balance engineer/Tonmeister/Ingénieur du son: whoever, etc.) it says "Technical Engineer/?????????/Ingénieur technique: Andy Beer". In other words "I don't know the German for Technical Engineer I'll find out and stick it in later", but instead that became the final version.

Be it duly noted that I composed this entire post while wearing pyjamas.

And thank you Instapundit for this.

UPDATE: This is fun.
