"It Isn't What It Sounds Like"
Howard County Police officers still write their reports
by hand, and the data is entered later by a computer
tech into their database. One theft report stated that
a farmer had lost 2,025 pigs. Thinking that to be an
error, the tech called the farmer directly.
"Is it true Mr. (Smith) that you lost 2,025 pigs?" she
asked.
"Yeth." lisped the farmer.
Being a Howard County girl herself, the tech entered:
"Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs."

"And The Subject Is?"
A visiting professor from the US was amazed to see
the auditorium filled to capacity for his speech on
"Convex Sets and Inequalities" at The Technical
Institute of Aeronautics in Sao Jose dos Campos.
A quick glance at the flier promoting his appearance
removed all doubt though. According to the flier, he
was supposed to speak on "Convicts, Sex and
Inequalities."
