The hidden wit of reference books. This is the example errata slip in the Oxford Guide to Style, the book formerly known as Hart's Rules. The trick is to imagine what kind of book could contain all three errors, and how many legal actions might result:
p. 197, line 9: for 2.5 mg digoxin PO read 0.25 mg digoxin PO
p. 204, line 15: for live wire read earth wire
p. 399, line 2: for guilty. read 'not proven'.
