"In DOG We Trust"

'In dog we trust' misprint on US sheriff's office rug


It took two months for the error at the Florida office to be spotted:



A rug has been removed from a sheriff's office in Florida after it was noticed that it read "in dog we trust" instead of "in God we trust".

The $500 (£329) mat lay at the entrance to the office in Pinellas County for two months before someone noticed, a spokeswoman said.

The error was made by the rug's manufacturer and it is being replaced.

And most of the dogs I've met in my life were thoroughly trustworthy.

Exactly what is wrong with this?

Of course, it's not working too well, when no one notices for months that it was done wrong. Maybe they should put up some billboards or take out some radio ads.
