My wife Elaine jokingly pointed out a line of Bald Guyz products in the drugstore this afternoon. After careful examination, I had to buy a box of Head Wipes. For $4.99, who could ask for a better typo?
Our cashier didn't get it. If I'd had a Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary with me, I would've said "mange: any of various persistent contagious skin diseases marked esp. by eczematous inflammation and loss of hair, affecting domestic animals or sometimes humans, and caused by a minute parasitic mite."
The other Bald Guyz products -- sunscreen, shampoo -- had awkward-looking blue stickers over the offending text, asking consumers to let the company know what they need. But the Head Wipes had somehow, err, slipped through.
I know what BG Products needs: more careful proofreading. (Moisturizes is a typo too.)

Now that is funny. Unfortunate, but funny. I would have had to buy some, too, just for the label.
The man currently featured on the box of Head Wipes, Shawn Wilson, is one hot-looking bald-headed guy!
