Best. Correction. Ever.

(from the Boston Globe, by way of The New Yorker)

"Because of a reporting error, Dr. Arleigh Dygert Richardson III...was described in his obituary yesterday as favoring tacky pants with tweed jackets and Oxford shirts. Dr. Richardson favored khaki pants."

That just cracked me up. I think the best part is my mental image of this man's friends reading his obituary and thinking, Tacky pants? Is that editorializing? I never thought his pants were that tacky. Wait, are MY pants tacky?

It probably says something about my sense of humor that things like this can make me chuckle for days.
