It's a perfectly natural miistake to mistake. Don't give it another thought.

Sincerely,

Given the business I am in, I'll be the first to admit my world of rainbows, sunshine and unicorns could probably use a bigger dose of cynicism, but thanks, Janice! :)

I will be sure to check out your blog on Sunday.

Lookin' forward to meeting you in October!!

Jen,

I admire anyone who is able to maintain their naivete in this day of sarcasm and mistrust.

Look for a post on my blog, this coming Sunday about some real life New Hampshirites with odd, but genuine, names.

Janice

Very likely true, Melanator. A whippersnapper probably would have caught it right away. Sad to say, I can be a bit naive and/or trusting at times, whilst other times I giggle over phrases such as "market penetration." I take full responsibility for the miss - especially as a "Simpsons" fan. (Has Bart ever called Moe's with that name? Inquiring minds...) Still, in the interest of transparency, I am glad Nick is talking about it here instead of pretending it didn't happen. If you can't laugh at yourself, well... You're probably missing out on some good chuckles, right? Anyhoo, I now read those captions aloud, so hopefully any other potential Ben Dover or I.P. Freely will be caught BEFORE the page goes to print.

(And in defense of naive editors everywhere, this IS a state who counts among its former legislators Dick Swett and Dudley Dudley, while I hail from PA, where you'll find the town of Intercourse. You just plain never know.)

Nit Witt is right! Any high school student would have caught that "unusual" name in the caption on first glance. (Of course, he/she most likely wouldn't have spoken up). I'll bet the guy in the photo got a big laugh when he saw his little prank actually made the papers! Ah well. Live and learn - and maybe hire one or two young interns!
