The Daddy of All Mistakes

I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin (Hookem Horns).  I am also proud to say I worked on the PR for the opening of The Lyndon Johnson Library.  So, you can imagine my embarrassment when I read that the 2012 graduation program from my alma mater was printed as follows:  “The Lyndon B. Johnson School of Pubic Affairs”.

 

So, that got me to scratching….I mean thinking.   Certainly John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, and so many others can claim they had pubic affairs.   But of all of the crazy mistakes I have made in my life, I can say with certainty that I would never make such a blatant spelling error.   Not when I helped create pubic legislation in my political days.  Nor when I went pubic with Mark’s proposal of marriage.  Not when I checked out the pubic financing of our local politicians at our local pubic library, nor when I have chosen to take pubic transportation when my car broke down. There is nothing worse than pubic humiliation. You know I love a little pubicity, but sometimes you just get too much pubic attention. 

 

So, beware of making mistakes that will haunt you for the rest of your pubic life.  I know I will.
