Funniest typo

In one of student written transcripts in medical school from biochemistry, I found what I thought was one of the funniest typos I've ever seen:

"The most advanced gene therapy is in pants."

It's funny because I assumed they meant plants, but you know, gene therapy, jean therapy, pants. Lol right?

Maybe you had to be there.

Anyway, over the years, I started to wonder if maybe this typo was made purposefully. It's almost too clever. Like the time when I creatively italicized certain letters in thrombocytopenias.

  2. I must finally be growing up.

    I don't find penis jokes funny anymore.

    Don't really care if other people still do though

    2. No judgment. More of a musing.

      I've been daydreaming about this issue lately, as my 30+ year-old male friends still find them hilarious and can't go five minutes without one.

      It's so awkward not to laugh at someone's joke, but I hate being fake.

  3. It's terrible but if someone makes an off color joke that I don't find funny - but is not offensive - I say 'that's funny.' Kinda lame, saying something is funny, not laughing. But it seems to work. Still a little fake but easier for me to express fake in words than to fake the emotion.
