Al Kamen, in his “In the Loop” Washington Post blog, shares an announcement that could have been written by the president himself.
President Bush’s pre-Christmas visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center caused some unexpected problems, judging from an e-mail alert we received. There were the usual traffic rerouting and parking restrictions, from 8 p.m. on Dec. 21 until 2 p.m. the next day.
The e-mail lists 12 such changes likely to frustrate drivers and includes an apology:
“Traffic will be blocked temporarily around the campus and re-routed if necessary. Sorry for the incontinence during this mission.”
We’re sorry, too.
We use Lotus Notes at work. It routinely substitutes “incontinence” for misspelled instances of “inconvenience.” Let the office snickering ensue.
