SliPPery SloPe Poem #1
kids, ready for a sort of joke? and a reason
why you don’t see many spelling bee
champions in jail? an item from a british
newspaper labeled “Fatal Slipp” reads
“Local police had a surprise Wednesday for a
suspect in the case of obscene letters. They
rounded up a dozen possibilities and had
each write the word ‘surprise,’ which the
writer of the letters had consistently spelled
with a double ‘p.’ They arrested their man!”
