Just thought I'd try and cheer everyone up in the run-up to the New Year, while many of us are no doubt working hard on our Albuquerque papers, with some recent typos from some our grey literature reports (as sent to me by our post-excavation manager).   To avoid needlessly embarrassing anyone, all quotes are anonymous (but genuine).
 
Some are merely misspellings.  Others, particularly 2, 10, 12, 13, and 23, take on a whole new meaning.   Just remember to watch out for 2cm wide pedestrians on your next site...
 
Enjoy!
