Unintentionally funny blurb in the KC Star today

I got a big kick out of a small column today in the Star in its "In Brief" section on A8.

They noted that "Rotary Club 13 won the 16th annual Corporate Spelling Bee to benefit Literacy Kansas City.

Good on you, Rotary 13. (Side note: Rotary International does terrific work. All they do is try to raise money to give it away. No buildings. No big staff. No "secret handshakes" or abusive rituals, just people trying to help people in a spirit of terrific camraderie. But I digress).

What was amusing about the small column was that it also pointed out that the Star's own team participated.

The local newspaper staff lost in a spelling bee.

That's good.

Maybe later his year they can win the Corporate Editing Competition.


Enjoy that perfect weather out there, folks and let's have a great weekend.
