At a newspaper job many years ago, to play a joke on our proofreader, I replaced one of the Obituary photos with this:
and changed the persons name to "Deady McMaggot", and left the text of the obit alone. I saved the ad, printed it out, and we all got a good laugh. I went back to the ad and put the original photo back in, but forgot to change the name... and the fucking ad ran... with "Deady McMaggot" as the poor fellow's name...
Didn't go over well, to say the least. Hello, unemployment!!
