SITE LOCALIZER | Another funny blunder... | Nov 11, 2005 |
Our local hospital opened an open-door incontinence clinic, and sent out promotional leaflets referring to it as a "Drip-in Centre"
Seems too co-incidental, but they surely can't have meant it as an unkind joke, so I can only imagine it was Freudian slip, with 'o' being next to 'i' on the keyboard
