How do you break the news? You don't....

So Dusty and I took a trip to the book store and I wanted to look for a beginners do-it-yourself guide for home repairs or carpentry or something like that but I couldn't find the section in the store. I asked and the girl enthusiastically helped me on the computer look up some books. She asked me,

"So are you looking for like a dummies books like for beginners?"
"Sure. Yeah. Like a beginners book."

Well we kept getting no search results on the computer for books and she was getting SO frustrated. I however saw it....the search box she was typing in....

"Dumbies for carpentry"

How do you tell people they misspelled the word Dummies? You don't. But I sure did have a good laugh when I left.

I am laughing because i would have spelt it with a B first too and then figired out with no results that even thought it did not look correct that maybe it had just M's...but don't you spell dumb with a B and not dum? see now I am confused and i'll have to look that word up too...thanks alot...you can laugh now!

That actually sounds like something I would do. That's hilarious. You should have just looked it up yourself - like the Freakin' Moron's guide to carpentry or something.

Yeah, Rana. you do spell dumb with a b. I do have to admit. Once I laughed about it I could see that I probably would have done it too.
