Workplace evacuationsThis one's really a bit more of a spell-checker-induced-malaprop than anything, but I thought it sort of fit.
My boss, who has notoriously poor spelling, sent out a company-wide email message apologizing for a recent loss of email service. It included the phrase "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." The capricious nature of Microsoft Word morphed whatever hideous excuse he'd typed for "inconvenience" into "incontinence." Much hilarity ensued.
Oh, the images - "What, no email? AARGH! (SPLAT!)"
