Messed up? Make lemonade.
We’ve all been there. You check your work once, twice, three times … you read it aloud, ask a trusted employee to review it, save it and give it a final review first thing in the morning with a fresh brain and rested eyes. You pronounce it ready and emphatically click send.
And then: Nooooo! You see the spelling mistake, the missing word, the broken hyperlink. Or something worse, like the price that was supposed to be introductory — but you forgot to add the disclaimer.

Nancy,
“Eat here – get gas” is the best. I laughed out loud – it was as good as Mary Richards at the funeral service for Chuckles the clown.
Have a nice weekend,
Bill
Thanks Bill! A good laugh is the best way to start a weekend.
