Sorry if I offended someone with an attempt of "humor". I found this little saying at a German site. Not an American site. Any misspelling of the phrase would be theirs. Not mine.

Any > misspelling of the phrase would be theirs. Not mine. Why is everybody so apologetic here all the time. No one was offended.
