There was a want ad that read: "Fuck your way to the top. Entry level secretary position with chance for advancement...."
Turns out two young women worked the night shift where one would write the copy and the other proof it. One wrote the above as a joke knowing her friend would correct it, which of course she didn't happen to notice and thus didn't correct. Paper wrote an abject apology, noting that both had been immediately fired.
