IT COULD HAPPEN to any of us.

And often does. The dreaded typo.

But typos can sometimes be excellently amusing, as well as deeply unfortunate.

Take this incident in the Derry Journal

The headline on this story about a new breastfeeding plan just took on a completely different meaning.

Of course, they meant breastfeeDing.

Doh.

People are loving it though

I don't know who welcomed this plan but it wasn't me! @derryjournal, what happens if I don't want my breasts feeling?#Typo? #YouHadOneJob pic.twitter.com/nvQj0p4dFL
