work stories

So we have this anchor at work (who brought in cookies today, so he's now my favorite), and he has a tendency to read whatever's in the prompter a la Ron Burgundy style. So today in the commercial break I noticed the first story began "ASK WAS FALLING DOWN" or something along those lines, which obviously doesn't make sense. The story was about the Iceland volcano so I mentioned to everyone that it should be ASH and not to read it like that. The anchor replied "You know me too well." Crisis averted.

Well, (here's the interesting part of the story) this brought up another story our producer told. Our old chief meteorologist used to have weather stories in his weather forecast and he would read a script that went along with it. The producer had written it wrong and he read it, never noticing the mistake. It was a story about a flood and people being rescued. "PEOPLE WERE BEING RESCUED BY BOARS" Amazing. I couldn't stop laughing when he told that story. Just imagine boars rescuing people from the flood. Rescuing? Or stabbing people in the stomach? which is more likely?

Oh, work.
