Looking at my keyboard, I can't see how you can switch certain letters for certain words.
Course, if your typing too fast...
And I seriously question what else you guys are doing while "typing" to get these typos!!

Funny thread! I once posted an auction for a piece of jewelry that had that 'green gunk' on it common to vintage jewelry; it's called verdigris.
I mentioned in my auction that it had ambergris on it.......a viewer wrote back and asked me how this piece of jewelry got 'whale vomit' on it!

I once thanked someone for their "wining" bid.
The since the word was in the subject line of the email, we replied back and forth a couple of times before I caught it. All I could think of was "whining" bid. I was very embarrassed.

I came across a real estate ad one time for a house that had a big cedar d*ck in the back yard. The funniest part was the picture of the female realtor with the huge grin on her face. Must have been some fertility symbol.

A bunghole is actually the hole in the side wine cask from which to periodically test the wine for aging

This doesn't really qualify as a typo, but it is a good play on words.
About halfway between Nenana and Fairbanks (Alaska) on the highway, there is an Inn called "Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn". I did a double take when I saw that one.
I said "there is" but it was many years ago. Don't know if it still exists or not.

For months there was a graffiti on the railway overpass near me, in 3 foot high green letters..."Hells Angles". Cracked me up...I used to picture tough bearded motorcycle riding geometry students!

OMG LOL! I'm sitting here laughing until tears are coming out of my eyes. Love this thread!
When I was in college a friend of mine and I changed a motel sign from "Free coffee with room" to "Free coffin with room." We giggled about that for days....

This wasn't from an auction, it was an email to my company from our very proper and upstanding HR director. He meant to type "Please see me in my office" - what he actually typed "Please me in my office"

Probably not a typo, but I once saw an auction description for a gold mask that was "covered with guilt."
I hope it was ashamed of itself!

There's a pizza place in my town that got a new above-the-counter menu a few months ago. Under their list of subs, they have "Grabmeat" listed. I've been meaning to ask what kind of meat, but haven't had the nerve yet.
6 months later, they still haven't changed the sign.
(Oh, and tomwiii, I've been dying to get a picture of the Bunghole Liquors sign for years, but never have my camera with me when we drive by!)

When I was a teenager we changed the marquee at a park from:
Teen Trip to Magic Mountain
to
Meen Trip to Tragic Mountain (borrowing the "r" from somewhere else.)
This was not long after a roller coaster accident there. Mean -er meen, I know, but fun when you're a teen.
Saw this one recently on the PayPal website:
"Always Free"

Hi,
The one I like best is the slogan for
Dick's drive-in restaurant in NC:
"If you like hot dogs, you'll love Dick's!"

My dad once typed in the bulletin "The Youth Group will be serving pot at the Church Picnic."
Some were probably sad to see pop there instead.

Okay people, here's my big contribution to this thread. I swear to you that it's true.
When I was a teenager, I took a nighttime walk past a local supermarket, which had gigantic white neon letters which literally
read SUPERMARKET against a dark sky. Well, usually. That night, one of the letters burned out. You guessed it, it was the letter U, and in full view of every car and pedestrian on the highway.
The grocery store didn't catch on for weeks!

"Thank you for your bod"

My top pick is "Hell and congratulations". That one gave me a really good and much need laugh out loud.

Warsawkid:
Are you in Oklahoma?
I worked for the paper there that had the big d*ck in the backyard. There was another similar typo in the listing but I can't remember it now.
Another one was on a huge picture of the front of the sports section. There was a picture of this huge fish and the headline read "BIG ASS FISH CAUGHT". It should have said "BIG BASS FISH CAUGHT".
