They needed an extension in which to file their brief. They filed a request for an extension with that court. In that request, they identified themselves as the public prosecutor. It became obvious that they did not proof the request for extension but simply did a spell check which would not have picked up the very funny typo. They left out the "L" in the word "public." We had a lot of fun and a very good laugh at their expense as they identified themselves as the "<b>pubic</b> prosecutor" and filed that with the appeals court.bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060373657650063777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77231758990531547692010-03-16T17:42:51.481-04:002010-03-16T17:42:51.481-04:00c-arm fluoroscopist. radiology tech. presumably in...c-arm fluoroscopist. radiology tech. presumably in a busy or.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77963275241242396202010-03-16T00:24:28.152-04:002010-03-16T00:24:28.152-04:00I said the sentence aloud and it seems to me (if t...I said the sentence aloud and it seems to me (if the voice recognition software tries to match words based on the first syllable) the phrase could have been "senior citizen." 'C-arm' could sound line 'senior' to a computer, and 'flouroscopy' would be the next logical word to follow (again, to a computer). <br /><br />The next words in the sentence, "who looks stated age," would then make sense. If I am right, the sentence would be a bit redundant. <br /><br />Word Verification: thorgate ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-14851174623452655372010-03-15T20:52:02.302-04:002010-03-15T20:52:02.302-04:00sierran florist hopisierran florist hopiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-79201478901224192392010-03-15T18:16:02.517-04:002010-03-15T18:16:02.517-04:00Ooops.
