Reminds me of the time, back when I was a freshman at UMass, when I 
got the wrong weather forecast to read during a newscast.  It was 
obviously wrong -- much colder or much warmer than the actual weather 
that day -- but I couldn't find a better one.  So I read it, but I 
had trouble supressing giggles on the air.  By the next newscast, a 
new forecast had come in on the teletype.
