Some of you have seen the insurance company commercial that talks about Frog Protection vs Fraud Protection, with both parties sure that they are hearing the same thing. There have been many great misunderstandings in the world, and that's one of the reasons that the play on "sounds like" works so well. And, it sure carries into our everyday world, too. I went to a trophy company earlier this week to order a trophy: the Coal Creek Cup - for my golf league. It will be our first ever Coal Creek Cup tournament, so everyone is a tournament virgin for this one. I know. But it's fun. Yesterday, I went to pick the trophy up. The guy came out with it all wrapped in bubble wrap and proudly unwrapped it. It said "Cold Creek Cup". No. No. No. COAL Creek. He says, "I can fix that." Off he goes into the back room, and time passes. He brings the trophy cup back out. This time it says "Cole Creek." Egad. "Let me have a piece of paper," says I. And I wrote COAL. Back he went into the working area. More time passed. We got it right the third time. I think there were at least two lessons in that one. One for me, and one for him.
And sometimes I miss things like 23,456 vs
