Going to the Dogs

Posted by BJI just love it when a typo creates a word which changes the meaning of a sentence in a humorous way and, as the saying goes, “You just can’t make this stuff up folks.”

In a recent AP article on the Westminster Dog Show being held this week in New York (at Madison Square Garden, should you care to know or go.) I spotted this delightful typo:

She is a hot dog, this little Sadie. Tongue out, and wagging tail up, the perky, 4-year old Scottish terrier has won more than 100 Best-in-Show ribbons and is the overwhelping favorite to complete dogdom’s Triple Crown this week at Westminster. She’s already charmed the judges, in fact. (Yeah, and her overwhelping would suggest she has charmed her fair share of male dogs as well.)

Someone I shared this with suggested the typo could have also been “overyelping”. That would have been fun too.
