"The person involved has been sacked and I am planning on consulting my lawyers to see if I can take further action against her."

The next thing you know, those responsible for the sacking will have been sacked and the credits will have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

At least there was no charge for the insult on their bill. It's always good to know that you can still get insulted for free these days.

Good one, Todd.

Will there be a wonder llama?

I worked with a guy years ago that figured out how to add a name to a guest check instead of a table number. This was also the time when cell phone became standard issue for biz people. One day my friend was filling in for our regular bartender. A "gentleman" sat at the bar at the beginning of happy hour, talking on his cell as he walked through the door. The "gentleman" was a loud talker and also one of those d-bags that lets their phone ring until VM kicked in if he didn't want the call. Any way, the "gentleman" treated my friend very poorly during his four hour stint; flagging my friend down when he was very busy and making him wait until the phone conversation was over. My friend tagged the open check with the name "phone phuck" with the intention of deleting before dropping the check. Guess what he forgot to delete.

Isn't there a restaurant in Louisville where the theme is to constantly insult you?

I've never heard of it, but Dick's Last Resort in Chicago does a fine job with that theme.

Or any authentic kosher deli in NYC ...

If you want to get insulted, go to Rotier's near Centennial Park/Vanderbilt in Nashvile. They specialize in roasting at Rotier's

Thanks for the Python reference. I really needed a laugh today.

Your post made me think of old journal stories about editors putting in "filler" headlines and then forgetting to go back and change them before running the presses. Maybe these stories are more lore than fact, but my college newspaper faculty advisor used them as way to scare us into not making a similar mistake. Can't find any examples on google - maybe they are lore or maybe I'm not using the right keywords to search.

One for sure, back in the Carter administration. A Boston Globe editor left in place a "filler" hed over a space left for a speech by the president: "More mush from the wimp."

Definitely a true story, not a UL. I expect a search on "mush from the wimp" would bring up plenty of stories.

This makes me think of a publication gaffe that occurred prior to 1965 ( when I first heard the story):

from http://www.publicradio.org/columns/prairiehome/russ/2004/01/24/

It wouldn't surprise me, though, if now that I've stirred this pot someone did write and say they had gotten into huge trouble for some careless but innocent act of writing. And a famous example from Minnesota comes immediately to mind. It was published in a weekly paper in the northwest quadrant of the state, and I can't say what kind of repercussions it may have brought to the author but there must have been some. The town of Fertile, population 853, sits about 19 miles southeast of Crookston on state highway 32; Climax, with 273 listed residents, sits to the west of there on US 75, some thirty miles away. An elderly lady from the former small town expired in the latter, leading to an obituary caption in the paper that read, in bold letters: "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax." Probably the longest-lived journalistic gaffe in the entire state, and one that must have brought at least mortification to its author. You'd hope so anyway.
