Funniest OCR typos
Perhaps I'm being juvenille, but I got a good laugh out of these lines from Munsey.com's version of John McPartland's Affair in Tokyo (a good noir novel, regardless of the typos):
I put my anus around Satin Shea and she pushed me away. “Don't do it, Bob. It's not for us.” Anyone have some other good ones? |

From The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler:
He got his bottle out again. He poured himself a shot and drank it down quiddy, as before. quiddy = quickly |

Pretty funny to read "He spread his arms wide" with that error in place. Forgot what eBook I saw that in. |

I enjoy the adolescent humor of Google Books' OCR's inability to correctly interpret the "long s" in sucking pig in older documents.
