Are You Trying to Tell Me Something?

WHEN I WAS an Army chaplain's assistant, I typed letters for a lieutenant colonel who was a Catholic priest. Following his last name, the initials O.S.B. were typed to indicate he was a member of the Order of St. Benedict. One afternoon, I was in a hurry and didn't proofread the letter I put on his desk. A short time later, he walked into my office and tossed the letter on my desk. "Are you trying to tell me something?" he said. I glanced at the letter and then turned beet red. Instead of the usual initials, I had typed S.O.B.
