I used to be a printer, and in the most embarrassing print job ever, we screen-printed 250 real-estate signs, in four colors on coated masonite stock.
No one noticed a glaring error in the sign-- not the art department that drew up the sign, the photo department that shot the positives, the screen making department that made the screens from them, or any of the printers who printed them-- one by one, on a hand jig, mind you.
It fell to Pedro, the three-buck-an-hour guy recently arrived from the Dominican, who was paper wrapping and taping stacks of the completed signs, in other words, the last guy to touch them, to point out that the telephone number on the sign had eight digits (555-12345).
These people(?) think they should be running the country and they can't even spell.
ReplyDeletedoubt a single one of them even noticed it was wrong
