Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk

I take The Hindu, which bills itself as "India's national newspaper" and has been around since 1878.

On Tuesday, I read this subheadline in a story on the latest developments in Nepal:

"Moists Torch Bus"

A typo, of course. It should have been "Maoists." There has been a Maoist insurgency in Nepal for years.

But, when I read that headline, I found myself picturing a band of men with butch haircuts saying, "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" as they attacked the bus. With a band of Curlys chanting, "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."
