"In elementary school, there was a pencil machine in the front lobby where you could get pencils for 25 cents. There were also “special” pencils that had stars on them. If you got one of these special pencils, you could take it into the office and get a prize.
One day, I decided to get a pencil. I put in my quarter and out popped TWO pencils. And one of them was a special pencil! I went into the office and told the lady at the desk that the machine gave me two pencils and one of them was special. She proceeded to say that the machine shouldn’t do that, took the special pencil, and didn’t give me a prize. That was 19 years ago and I’m still pissed."

When the 'Superman' movie came out back in 1978, an interview with actor Christopher Reeve contained a typo.
It stated that he had 27-inch biceps. (They were 17-inch.)
The magazine published the correction the following week.
A gym-buddy of mine would not let it go.
From that point onward (and for years afterwards) he'd derisively refer to Christopher Reeve as 'Mr. 27-inch biceps.'
When CR passed away in 2004 I can imagine my buddy saying 'Gee. How did they fit him in his coffin......with his 27-inch biceps.....'
