A devoted Challenge participant let us know recently that we’d goofed big-time. We’ll let her tell it:
“I’m sorry, but the Tribune committed a stupendous gaffe when printing my winning entry to Q’s Challenge 11. My entry was: `Michael JACKSON should resolve to keep other people’s business out of his nose.’ The Tribune incorrectly printed it as Michael JORDAN. Sincerely yours, Patricia De Freeuw, Flossmoor.”
Yep, we messed up. We’re a bit mystified about how it happened, but happen it did. If we were the hypersensitive type (and worried about our jobs), we’d say that the confusion was understandable. After all, both men are superstars who don’t know when to quit–Jordan with his athletic career, Jackson with his plastic-surgery obsession. Both are family men whom kids look up to–even though in Jackson’s case, they’re being dangled and looking up for help! But we’re not (hypersensitive, that is), so we admit that the two Mikes aren’t anything alike. We goofed. Sorry, Patricia. We’re sending you a Q handheld massager to apologize, in case you’re still sore at us.
